I don't think any summer tire ( as long as it's not from pepboys) is gonna hold you back performance wise. I'd just go for what you can get the most mileage out of withot breaking th bank. But that's just me.

S.Drives are not meant for performance.... It's more for daily driving. Hankook V12 is more for performance because of lower thread rating. Also, the Hankooks are known to wear out really fast. A few G37 guys had them for 3000 miles and it's bald already. Most of them will be switching to S.Drives now...lol

OP i would go to any online website like tirerack or 1010 tires and just see whats available in the sizes you want in the price range you want. then work from there. if you don't want to pay 300 for a tire, then that isn't going to change regardless of any other factor. if the tire doesn't fit, you aren't going to get it. if no one makes it in your size you aren't going to get it. the performance/treadwear is the only variable you can actually change. |

Only a little bit of camber. Camber only gives uneven wear, not a big deal. The toe can kill tires.
Anyways, Call discount tire direct and they'll beat any tire prices out there. |

Bridgestone RE-11's
Bridgestone RE-11's 305/30/19 in the rear and 265/35/19 in the front.
Trust me, the RE-11's are incredible...

Wheel Size Calculator
This wheel size speedometer calculator should answer your questions.
Performance Probe And the RE-11's really are that good. Good in the wet, good in the dry, and spectacular on the track. They ride better then the RE050A's and have a better tread wear rating (180 vs. 140 for what that's worth)The RE-11's reputation is not based on forum/blog lore, but on actual results at autocross/track events. Check out the most recent edition of GrassRootsMotorsports magazine. What tire did they choose for their BMW 335i?

word, i'm sure the RE-11's are awesome. but they are also $300 a piece. spending more money on tires than on wheels He's going to wind up spending more on tires than he does on his wheels. I agree those are definitely better tires than most, however, one could use race gas to drive around town, and that would be "better."
OP do you care about price or not? if you don't, get the RE-11's they sound great. if you do, don't feel like you're car is going to handle like crap if you spend a little less money on tires. |
