Need help choosing tire setup

sherm · 10-05-2014, 02:32 PM

I'm wanting a pair of rear tires that are for track and street driving that also fit the stock 19" rim. What would you suggest that has more grip while also streetable?

I know nothing about tires and sizes so all help is greatly appreciated!

If you are tracking your car, I would not run different rubber on the front and rear. Change all 4 tires or none. If it is just the street then less important.

I would try either Yokohama Ad-08 in OEM size or Potenza RE-11 with a 285 rear.

Ad08r in oem sizes

Anything bigger is inappropriate for the width of these wheels.

You will have plenty of cornering and outright grip

Those will be good for street driving and dragging the car from time to time? Do I just need the rear tires?

Yes they will be. Not spectacular in rain but why drive aggressively in rain anyway?

Swap em all out. Can't do just rears

Why will I need to swap the front tires too? My previous car I just swapped the rears and kept the OEM front tires since it's RWD. Like I said, I know nothing about tires though lol
