Tire selection help

BadOneThreeFive · 08-24-2011, 05:45 AM

Hello fellow 1addicts. I just got a set of Alufelgen SF-71s from modbargins. Just want to say thanks to Elliot @ MB for helping me choose what wheels were best for me. I got 19x8 ET45 and 19x9 ET48. I also bought eibach springs to lower the beast a little bit. Now what tires and sizes? I want to go the widest possible without rub of coarse and I dont mind doing a roll. Help please.

What's your budget and what are you looking for? Max grip, good life, nice quiet ride?

For sizes I'd go 225/35 and 255/30

those are the sizes I want but there is on like 10 tires for 255/30/19. I f I go up to 265/30/19 then I get pages of tires. I want hankook V12s and I was told with a fender roll it will work with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 on my eibach and FSDs. I dont mind spending a G on some tires that will be worth it. Looking for something that has really good grip but at the same time have decent tread wear.
