Just ordered a set of Yokohama AD08's today (275/295x30x19).......$1700
I'm hoping the 30 series tire won't look too skinny on a 19" wheel.

I have seen places where you can get a ticket if your tires are on the white line or crossing over and in his case parking like a Ahole.

In the market myself, definitely need tires more than wheels but seeing if I can work a package deal at the moment. Thinking back to the convo you and I had when we were out in Borrego and will probably go with a wider tire in the rear at least, think you said you believe my car would clear with a 275 in the rear without rolling back fenders so will go with that. Eibach rear camber and toe on order so should be there when I get back in 3 weeks. Damn $1700, think I may be looking at the same for the Michelan SS.

I would have to see the car in person again and measure the clearance. 275mm minus your current tire size, then divided by 2 should tell you how much more the tire will stick out compared to your current setup.

I know what you mean. I spent some dough on Michelin Pilot Super Sport's. I was looking at those Yoko's, but that treadwear rating is a little low for my liking but I heard they grip like mad in the dry.

Under rated. I would pick those Sumi's over some other popular "bargain" tires. No joke.

Same ones I am looking at Jairen. Had a quote for them before I came to the desert bt don't remember. Talked with Grant over PM and he recommended either the ADVANs or the S drives if I go through discount tire. I know the car group has a discount with SD Wheel and Tire.

@ Yoshi, believe offset was either 38 or 40 can't remember off the top of my head, suffering from CRS at the moment. It'll be 245/40/20 up front and either 265-275/35/20 in the rear if I just go with tires, if I can find a decent package deal with new wheels then I am dropping down to 19s with the same setup as above and make her a little more flushed. Currently just have uneven tire wear in the rear since she sits low. She was lower than that but I raised it up a little.
