Yeah, my fair weather drop top third car can't handle tires with less than 10/10 rain traction.

Star specs are fine in the rain unless you can't drive.

My only real options are PSS in OEM size 255/40/19 (27" tall) or 275/35/19 (26.6" tall).

RE-11's ( 285/35R19 ) Might work, but I don't know how wide your wheels are (wheel width range 9"-11" for 285's)

Minimum rim width for the 285 RE-11 is 9.5". My wheels are 9" wide.

I am still not 100% sure if 275s up front will rub or not.

How long do the star specs last? I want a set of tires to last at least two summers.

Red__Zed · 02-15-2012, 11:11 AM

Depends how you drive. Probably 15k, not rotated with mixed driving.

m4a1mustang · 02-15-2012, 11:12 AM

I guess that's not bad. I'd still like more, though. We'll see when it comes time to order.

I like it a lot. Haven't hit the mountains yet but I have taken it on some of the twisty roads here. Lots of fun. It's just a big go-kart.
