Hatchi,

Were you able to see what tyres the show car was wearing? I see that the spec now has 225s on the front and 18" wheels all round.

All the spy shots of the test cars had them wearing 215s on 17"s all round. A manufacturer would test with the largest wheel/tyre combination (Certainly for durability tests) so it's a little strange to see the show car wearing 18s all of a sudden and the spec showing a wider rear tyre- its going to kill the playful handling and make it much more understeer biased.
