Help choosing tires for 19" wheels track & DD
 

Hi guys :hello: I need some help on choosing my next set of tires... I know maybe here on the Forum are already a lot of thread with this question... But I cant find the answer that I want... My question is... going to 255/35/19 & 295/30/19 or stay with my current setup that is 245/40/19 & 285/35/19? I want to know the pros & cons of both setup for the track & daily driving... I know already that for the track the 18"wheels are better but at this moment I cant find an 18"wheels that I like :/

If you have any other or best setup that works for the track and for daily driving let me know!

Thanks for the help

BTW my wheels specs are 19x9.5+12 Front & 19x11+15 Rear

With those wheels I would go with 275/35/19 f and 305/30/19 r. Hankook RS3 are made in that size and do well on both the street and track. I have this tire size on the stock Rays and they are a little pinched but on your wheels they would fit perfect.

Hankook RS3's as DR mentioned or could go with RE-11's. Either of those would be my recommendation.

Thanks a lot guys for the recommendations! I really appreciated :tup:

Now lets see if I can find those size here on Puerto Rico...

Thats the reason why I said the 255/35 & 295/30 cause I find it already lool!

But I hope to get luck on find those size that you tell me

I let you know :tup:

BTW I forget to ask you my friend... Do I have to run spacers with that tires on my wheels?

Let me know!

The rear will be more than fine and no spacer needed. Not sure about the front. I have 19x9.5 +20 and I can't go over 255 without rubbing issues. So with your offsets I would think you would be good with 275, but again not 100% sure. Wish I went with better offsets on the front but at least they are just for street.

If DR doesn't know maybe ask in the "Will it fit" thread.

Perfect bro! I really appreciated your help here :) im going to check In the shop.. im going to ask first if the have it... and if they can install one to see if they fit with any problems :tup:

Mount your current rear tires on your front wheels and give it a try. I suspect it will be fine.

THE 285/35? I will doit tomorow if I have a chance!!! :tup: Thanks bro

Don't buy the BFG rival, very disappointed in it so far. The rs3, kumho xs, or re-11 are great but unless you're going for looks a 305 in the back is unnecessary. 285 square is a great setup
Edit- didn't see you rims specs, 265/305 is great. I don't think 285 will fit up front

285 does fit up front. I've used 295/30r19 Hoosier slicks (which run wide) without rubbing. That was with about -2 camber, not too extreme.

I run RE11s 275/305 on stock Rays, 15mm front and rear, look and handling are stupid anymore, almost boring on the street, waaaay to good :driving:

For the track on the other hand, killer setup. Though I would like to try a 285 or 295 up front at some point

Thanks Guys! :tup: I found some Kumho tires in a shop But I have to wait for the end of this week for their arrival! I hope they arrive to install does babys this weekend! Thanks for all the help... I really appreciated

XS or the new v720?

The KU-39... Not the best for the track but for the daily driving its ok... Im going to ask for the XS to see if the shop got it in the size that im searching :tup:

Update....

Well guys at this moment im still waiting for the tires :shakes head: I call yesterday to the shop and they said me that they still waiting for the tires...They told me to call again this Monday that they expect to some Michelin tires are going to arrive and they can check if they have the sizes that im searching for. Im starting to thinking of down to 18" wheels cause is really a PITA here in PR to find tires for 19" wheels :shakes head: Soo if you guys can let me know the best setup that looks and works great on the 18"wheels on our 370z I really appreciated.

Thanks!
