Tires

**Kaotic_ws6** · 02-03-2009, 07:21 PM

as you guys know they dont make drag radials for 19s (at least i cant find any)... so i had to go with a street tire,

but i just picked up some bridgestone potenzas 305/30zr/19s and i didnt think they were gonna be worth a crap,but i was wrong. they hook alot better than i ever expected... there kinda expensive ($400 a piece) but IMO i think its worth it, they grab like a champ from any low roll and arnt so bad from a dig either. just thought i would let all you guys with low pros know that when its time for new tires give these a try.

yea i know what you mean, my car is slammed on 305s so they stick out like 315s, i would have 315s but my 305s already rub cuz its lowered. yea all those sizes ahould be good to go. just when you pull up the tire online in the size you want, scroll down and look at the suggested rim size for that tire then you will know if it will fit.

275s are good for 9"-9.5" rims
315s are good for 11-12" rims
