Re-11 Tires Question
Sorry for the re-post but I searched for an hour and still didn't get my answer.
Need new tires for my stock 19" rims and stock car (no spacer, no suspension(I mean stock suspension)) and going with Re-11, was thinking of NT05 but thanks to Kal Tires, Nitto (and toyo) won't allow US tire company to ship to Canada. Will go for the 285/35/19 for the rear. But the front is my question: a. 265/35/19 b. 255/35/19 c. 245/40/19 (stock) 1. What advantage with going with stock setup 245 vs 255 and 265? 2. Will I have any rubbing issue with 255 or 265? Thanks in advance everyone, and thanks Kal Tires... Last edited by YamahaR6; 08-21-2012 at 12:31 PM. |

no rubbing on any of the tires. bigger the front tire=better the car turns in, more the car crowns the highway, better tire wear, more road noise, uses more fuel

What cossie said. I have 265/35 F and 285/35 R and it works very well. Grip is crazy. No rubbing whatsoever. However, my VDC still kicks in slightly under heavy acceleration...I figured it would've adjusted itself by now.

Skip the REs get Yokohama ADVAN neovas stock size they are over size wider than REs and they last longer plus they are are the closest you'll get to the performance of an r spec tire. The grip is immense and the wet traction is unbelievable. When they are warm or hot it's like driving on rails. They are also lighter so you have less rotational mass. Yet noting you live in Canada you cant use these in the winter they don't like temps below 30 degrees.

265-35-19 front will throw off speedo and lower the front end. Better stay with 245-40-19.
