They make a 255/40r19 would they be worth a try as I don't really want to fit 265's to a 8inch rim? Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLBut yeah, cant be too bad if your doing 11s on them.They are a silica compound so shouldn't be too shabby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only using the standard 235/17/45's at the moment can I legally go a size up or 2 & would there be any advantage to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the track thou they did hold up really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had them for a week then got a refund. Not because of poor performance mind you because he never got the chance to form an opinion. But because they couldn't be balanced. I'd say product consistency would have, and may still be, an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size are they width wise. How are they on the street traction wise?They are 245/35/19s all round ... I'm going to try a 255/40 (a bit taller) or maybe try and squeeze a 265/30 on the rears.Traction wise on the street they feel pretty good in the dry but feel excelent in the wet. The car handles pretty well around the twisties too.The surprise is that the car can do consistent 1.8 - 1.9 60 footers on the 19s. Once they warm up a bit they must be pretty good !!
