Rear PS2 replacements

Xccelerate · 07-10-2016, 06:38 PM

Hey everyone my rears are down to 2/32 looking to replace soon any recommendation on going up size from stock I'm running 12mm spacers on the rear.

Depends what you want, if you want a good daily, go with PSS. If you want a really aggressive tire that is going to be loud and not last as long but have amazing handling go with Dunlop ZII's - everyone will say RS3's but they are not as good on our car, I've run them both.
And for size, do 265 front and 285 or 295 in the rear...why are you running spacers? our rears can fit 305's even with a drop.

Ideally I'd like to keep the PSS, spacers I was going for that added wheel look. But if I drop some 305s I can remove the spacers. I've always been a little weary of spacers.

Are they the original PS2? If so are the front's also the original PS2? If yes then I would replace all 4 with PSS as the original PS2 are reaching the end of their useful (re: grippy) life.

If you are on the stock wheels 255/35f 275/35r will give you a slightly meatier look. The rear will probably rub with a 12mm spacer, 5mm spacer should be enough w/ the 275.

Plenty of discussion on tire sizing in the wheel/tire forum...
