Does anyone know the tyres sizes of these two models respectively and further whether tyres other than the Michelin pilot sport cups are available in the respective sizes?

RS is

You can get them in cups and pirelli corsas for N-rated

Just to correct a statement above you cannot get Pirelli Corsas system tyres in the standard GT3 size at the moment

If you need an N rated tyre and don't want cups PS2 seem to be the only choice .

If you don't need N ratings then the Continental ContiForceContact is also now available in the right sizes for both, as is the Michelin SuperSport. Note that the last time that I checked, the 325 wide RS rears for the SuperSport had to be ordered via the USA for reasons unknown.

I pity anyone hoping for a supply of Corsas - they haven't been consistently available in GT3 sizes since before the launch of the 997. I spoke to someone on the Pirelli stand at last years Autosport show and all that he could yell me is that they had plenty of Trofeos... (Someone on here has ran them and found them okay, but expensive. They aren't popular though). Oddly there has never been a supply problem in Audi RO certified examples of the same tyre...

Another option that is available in N rated for the non-RS is the Bridgestone RE050A, which is a reasonable road tyre not dissimilar to PS2s.
