Tire Options 19's

Zigen5 · 04-25-2010, 10:13 AM

Could someone tell me my tire options that will fit these rims? I don't plan on lowering it or adding spacers anytime soon.

Front: 19x9.5 +25
Rear: 19x10.5 +22

Would this size do?
Front: 245/40/19
Rear: 275/35/19

Thanks...

I had 265/35 front 285/35 rear, some will say it is not enough on the rear which I could have gone bigger.

Gotta go bigger, grip=speed

Zigen5 · 04-25-2010, 03:04 PM

So what's a good size with more grip?

Whatever sizes you end up getting, check out the Vredestein Sessantas. F T W !

for the front, either 255/35/19 or 265/35/19

for the rear i have been recommended to run a 305/30/19

when you do lower and space... your car is going to look so damn sick!

I think stock is already low enough, everyone says that and i am scraping everywhere. However, it is weird how stock wheels have so much fender gap. U need to drop the car to take out those ridiculous fender gaps!

I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have the body kit.. But I know for sure I would be scraping the kit if it was lowered more.. My kit lower the front at least half an inch. I gotta watch the parking curbs now...

Go with some Yokohama S.Drives. They last long and are perfect for daily driving.

245/275 or 255/285

For the front, which would be a better ride for a daily driver? Now going from 18's to 19's will the speedo be affect alot like 1 mph off?

Jeffblue · 04-25-2010, 08:41 PM

the 265/35 is going to be closer to stock overal rolling diameter. i'd go with that, but its not all brands have that size

It's not the size, compound is way more important

Jeffblue · 04-25-2010, 09:15 PM

the compound seems to play a lot more into the handling/treadwear. the best compound for racing is not the best for someone who wants to get some life out of their tires. Generally speaking, the better the treadwear rating, the harder the compound, the longer it lasts, the worse it handles. But there is a happy medium and like all things it depends on what your needs are. and what your budget is. i have been recommended the hankook ventus v12 evo. they aren't very expensive/have a good treadwear rating. probably wouldn't be your first choice if you were going to track your car a lot/if you are a professional, but they seem to do the trick. if you aren't going to be tracking your car or driving it that hard, i doubt you will be feeling the shortcomings of a harder compound. However, you will feel your wallet getting thinner when you spend a lot of money on new tires ever 12,000 miles if you go with the best compound.

Zigen5 · 04-25-2010, 10:16 PM

That was going to be my next question... I've always looked at treadwear when deciding on tires. Is there a happy median? Yokohama s drive has a good treadwear but is it good for performance too?
