But, no problem. Bridgestone Potenza S001 has exact sizes available - rear AND front.

It's not bad tire either, Rapide, F458, RS5 and Lexus LFA being factory fitted with them. Maybe not equal to PSS, but much better than those low-rolling eco tyres completely unsuitable for racetrack. Maybe we can manage this season until someone brings good fronts 2016? I visited France last year and had talk with Michelin high exacutive. I asked what's their plan with sporthybrid tyres. He was very keen to talk with subject and said that they are working on them, Formula E being one testbed since they drive all the season with same tires, dry and wet. I tried to buy Pilot Sport EVs for i8, at any price, but he said they are not available...
Whew good to know I haven't gone totally stupid!

Thanks for the link, in fact THESE are the tires that come on the car as OEM...
