Oh God A Tire Thread

[AP1995V6]

About 16 months ago I ordered the Steeda Ultra-lite with 285/35/18 Nitto 555Rs package. I'm looking into getting new tires because of clearance issues in the front. I was wondering what brand of tire you guys are using for something fairly thin (245-265) in the front and something big (285-315) in the back.


So far Pirelli is the only brand I'd buy that has a 255 front, but only 295 for the back.

I have 255 in the front and 315 out back.

But they are some cheap Sumitomos. Dont get that brand if you want traction.

I had toyo t1r 265/35-18's on the front and 295/35-18's on the rear of my 98gt with no rubbing and I had that thing way too close to the ground with mm coilovers and suspension.

How are the toyos treating you?

I have 255 in the front and 315 out back.

That matchup is very popular on an 18" rim.

I'm running 17s so my sizes won't help you, but I love the rubber I run,

The 295 rear 265 frnt is what I'm going to be running with the new saleeens I picked up. That seems to be the prefered tire combo.

Caldwell, I to love my ES100s but i havent seen them in the sizes i posted. I have them on my 17" cobra Rs and they are sweet. Not sure what brand i will be running with the new wheels yet.
