I want a slight buldge

Slight bulge isn’t bad on the straight runs; the canyon carving will perform better with a square or slightly stretched setup,,,sometimes 1” staggered wheels will handcuff you between sizes....meaning you could end up with a stretch/bulge setup

but i know people that swear by the RE-71R from Bridgestone

the Bridgestone S04 and Kumho EVO2 V212 are less aggressive performance tires that won't get burnt up quick

265/35 front and 305/30 rear will make your life easier
height and camber can get you the look you want

i am running the Toyo T1R because there weren't that many tires that came in 275/30/20 and 315/35/20

R888’s in 265/35,305/30’s would probably give you the best chance to fit without rubbing & only slightly stretched up front
Unsure how spot on their diameter of tires are...but the Michelin’s I have are different diameter specs than what website says.
If you have someone who’s willing to mount/dismount tires without dinking up your wheels & test fitting before purchase....go for it
Unless you have been plucking HotRodz money tree

The less stretch the better. Because you can roll a tire off the rim in a corner.

If I stretch even slightly I’m better off going with pss cause the hard wall on the Toyo doesn’t like to stretch

are you even looking at the tire specs?

Cup 2's are a 180 tread wear tire. They're uber aggressive

tires are a wear item

if you got the cash to burn through those just to drive fast in a canyon every once in a while, i salute you

Cup 2's are short lived. Less than 5,000 miles out of them.

hmm, I put about 3k miles on the r888r's before I sold them and they had a solid amount of tread left

I went really aggressive with wheel specs, so im thinking of not going too aggressive with them

I really loved the confidence the toyos gave me, they are unbelievable. I know theyre not for street but shoot in the canyon ive never had the a55 go out

Sounds like you're not even pushing the car hard enough to heat the tires up. I would be lucky to get that many miles out of them.

i mean......not made of money....but i love me some good meat

A couple pics of the slight bulge of the 295/30/19 on a 10” wheel vs a 325/30/19 on a 12” in Michelin.
Unsure about any contact underneath fenders with your wheel specs.....
Try to avoid headaches if possible; camber specs you posted up are definitely for camber carving & a slight stretch will outperform the slight bulge.
MFG stretches tires/wheels from factory on these cars.

Cup 2's and R888's don't do well in the rain. If it's raining. You're better off parking it.

Your best bet would be to get the PS4S in those sizes.

I agree and from what others have told me the R888R is much better in the rain than the R888. I would agree that the PS4S or the PS are the best option. I also like the Bridgestone S04 are an excellent choice in that size as well. I ran them on my Nismo in 305 30 19 rear and 265 35 19 front.

I always parked when it rained as I had almost no traction. But I live in la where it rarely rains. Honestly for the money, they’re the most confident I’ve ever driven on a tire
