Prokiller Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 i need to get new rears. i want to keep the width but the current 305/35s are just too tall. a 305/30 gives me more than an inch difference which should be plenty. I've had drag radials in the past for years now, but i've realized i just don't drive it like i used to so that's not the priority at this point. i just want to be able to actually drive it down the road and not rub over every pebble. I don't drive it in the rain if i can ever help it, so that's not a real concern. only things i'm finding are Nitto and toyo. which ones do you think are the way to go? Nitto NT05:http://www.nittotire.com/passenger-tires/nt05-max-performance-tire/ Nitto NT555 G2:http://www.nittotire.com/passenger-tires/nt555-g2-ultra-high-performance-tire/ Toyo Proxes T1R:https://www.toyotires.com/tire/pattern/proxes-t1r-ultra-high-performance-summer-tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I would personally choose the NT05, since none of the 3 are drag radials and you're not overly concerned with tread life considering the recreational use of the car I'd have to let it boil down to aesthetics. And in the aesthetics dept the NT05 beats out the other 2 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted February 15, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've always been a big fan of Continental Extreme Contact DW/DWS. I got way more miles out of them than they were warranted for, and they're a nice tire for daily driving and fun driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the cup tires are spendy but typical pilot sports aren't any more than typical nitto tires from what I've found, yet far outperform them in lateral grip and longevity.

Tony Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 you would never consider going with a 19 in the rear? or maybe ditching the 305 all together and going with a 285-295/30/20? seems like a pretty large tire for a large wheel. i've never seen your car in person but thats some s197 sizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 the size of the 305 is perfect for me width wise. it was just too high. 28.4" tall is way too much, even for most s197's. Ask troy, we put my wheels/tires on his 12 and it was too big even for that car. as for different wheel size, i'm not in love with these wheels to begin with so i'm not going to be buying another size in the same wheel. when i get tired of these, i'll be switching them out completely for something that i like more. just not in the cards at the moment, have to focus on other things at the moment rather than a few thousand on wheels.
