Tyres for longevity and grip

JARblue · 08-18-2015, 03:11 PM

I like to tell people that my wife wore out the stock RE050s in 10K miles of daily driving. But the truth is I was tearing up those tires almost every weekend

yeah on top of that i had -2.5 degree camber in the rear, 3 autox's and countless digs from a stop under my belt. these were the "updated" re-11's with 200 treadwear (not sure if anything else was updated other than the treadwear). i believe they used to be 180.

So4 gets my vote. They are really nice tires for the $. The only problem is that I should of went 1 size bigger in the back knowing that I was going to be boosted. I think It would of helped with some strait line grip. Now I'm thinking of trying a different set of tires after these wear out (probably just the back 2 since they will wear faster).

I've run 265 up front. I think you can run a 275. At stock height.

Note that I when I go up in width a few sizes, I usually go down in profile to keep the diameter as close to OEM tires as possible (this keeps the speedo more accurate). I like to run 255-265/35/19 up front and 285-305/30/19 in the rear.
