What sizes should I get for performance and flush look should I get fo te37sls 19x9.5+22-19x10.5+12.
Ps there no mods for the car, car is stock.

just sucks that the RE-71 doesn't run bigger than a 275 :shakes head:

:iagree: That's what I meant to say about the discontinuation. They stopped making 305s so I had to search for the original RE-11.

the RE-71 is a completely different tire than RE-11.

but i will most likely be going with RE-11s again since there's no 265/305 combo to run.

So what would be better in this case the new REZ1 or PSS?

Depends on what you want...street tire that grips pretty well or race tire that can be streetable?

IMO the RE-11 was never a true "extreme performance" tire. I've always thought of it as a max performance tire along with the PSS.

Looks like Tirerack finally threw up the initial tests of the RE-71r and it looks like it's a far superior tire to the RE-11.

Also, for those running 275/305 or similar, I think this tire run 275 square would grip a lot better than the RE-11 would at 275/305. Compound is more important than size for the most part, since friction is independent of surface area and width is only there for wear and heat expulsion/retention :). Plus with 275/275 you get the added benefit of running square to greatly reduce the understeer issue

after seeing the tests of the RE-71R I was thinking about dropping back to OEM 245/275 setup to try them.

but the 265/305 RE-11's im currently running felt so good it's gonna be hard to step away from.

If anything I'd go for the 275/275 square setup. Far less understeer and the car feels more ready to turn. By the looks of it it'll be a comparable tire to the direzza Z2 SS or Ventus RS3, so you know it'll grip hard

I plan on keeping it staggered and not trying to put money into new wheels.

i'm on stock sport Rays and I love them. thank you for the idea and insight though :tiphat:

the tread pattern on the RE-71 is almost identical to the Star spec 2 it seems.

you can run a 275/35/19 on all 4 stock wheels. A lot of people do that...Mustang guys even fit 295s on 9" wheels.

Yeah, everyone is going to this minimalist tread pattern to allow for longer treadwear with a softer compound

I guess so but i'm just thinking 275 on the fronts seems a bit much but will work.

it's a thought for later. my current RE-11s still got some life. my plan is to see if they'll last until zdayz and then put fresh rubber on for the dragon :tiphat:

275's aren't a bit much for the front. I run 285 square. You need to get 305 square or go home :stirthepot:

ha! I've thought about trying to get 305/25 to run, but no good tires available in that size!

I second the 285 square though...Rivals come in that size and those are pretty solid tires

i have 285/35 rears at moment, buying fronts later this week. i read through entire thread, i'm a little confused, do i get 265/35 or 265/30? I’m on stock suspension. thanks for any clarification

go to tirerack and look at the tire specs. see what diameters match up closest and what you want.

my 265/35 and 305/30 are 26.3 diameter for both.

sidenote the RE-11 only comes in 265/35 so no need to question what you need its what you'll get lol
