He's saying that you can see two staggered lines of text, two stacked lines of text, and another that's aligned slightly differently. The one we see on the 11th gen Type R most closely aligns with the stacked text, which is found on the 245/35 19
This article is from a couple years back, but the info is still good I'm sure. There's also a link in there that points to Miata figures (75/25 softop manual/auto, 52/49 for the RF, and only 1/3 of Toyota 86 buyers took a manual). A quick additional reference, 78% of BRZs were sold with a...

Hopefully domestic production leads to greater availability/allocation and fewer markups. I'd love to have one at MSRP or better. $5k over MSRP pushes me towards a luxury car or a base Civic hatch instead.
I'm sure it has to do with the rearmost part of the vehicle being a potential contact point, and regulations dictate that it has to be a bumper vs anything else (a spoiler in this case).
