Depends on the wheel size. Looks like the 20s will be 9" and the 21s will be 9.5" (on the rears), meaning we'll probably see a 275. As far as "can they handle a 315," we'll know that once people start getting the cars.

I know there is a tire package where you can get 285/45's, but I don't know about 315's.

stock on the SS should be 245/45x20 front, and 275/40x20 rear, on 8"/9" wheels... it MAY have the 275/40's all around and the V6 RS's getting the 245's up front...
