DD Tire Options

Hey guys,
I've got a new set of wheels on the way I was also going to order another set of Michelin PSS however, 305/30/19 is on back order.

So, I have two options...step up to 245/35/19 & 325/30/19 or go with a different tire.

These tires will be used as daily drivers and no track time.

If I choose a new tire I was thinking of one of these..
Hankook V12
Continental DW
Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position

Any suggestions or tires to stay away from?

I would stay away from all 3. Move up to 245/325 regardless and stick with the MPSS. They are the best, plain and simple. If you want something 2nd get the Pirelli P zero or toyo R888.

I love R888 but not for a daily driver.

Stepping up in sizes is what I may likely do.
My only concern is if I would have fitment issues.

Wheel specs:
19x8.5 ET51
19x11 ET35

I don't think you can go wrong with Hankook. I have had 3 sets on my turbos over time and I have had no problems whatsoever. I have never had Michelins, so I can't compare, but I do find the Hankooks to be far superior to any Pirelli tire that I have ever had.

Why not? I have heard many good things about that tire for a DD. Pretty good in cold and wet. I have no personal experience though.

I have experience with michelin and pirelli. I have tried continental and goodyear, these are garbage brands.

I don't know the offset to use, but my buddy runs 245/325 on a 12 tts lowered on H&R springs and he has no rubbing or fitment issues. Not sure why the GT2 RS or GT3 RS needs the widened fenders. It's not really necessary with proper offsets.

Hey Drew.

My GT3RS wheels came with Hankook RS3s. While i know you werent looking at those specifically i will say i was happy with My H and would buy again. That being said i did switch to MPSS.

Ive heard the S-04 are a great DD tire and all around performer but that they wear extremely quick especially with the heavy 911 rear.

Ill be back in town this week so hopefully we can meet up again at some point here with the weather getting nice. I saw that event in monroe... If im in town i may attend.

I did not like the Bridgestones on my Audi. Now have MPSS on that car and the TT and it's my fave street tire. In fact I believe we have Michelins on 5 out of 6 cars right now. #6 runs Hoosiers...

I just put the s-04's on, for the price you can't beat them. So far they feel pretty good and better than the Hankook's I have on my stock wheels. The Hankook's seemed soft on the sidewalls.

If you step up the size, I am afraid you may have front Diff issues. I have heard that stepping up the size puts extra stress on the front diff. its a 5K+ part so check it out before you jump in.

Honestly I don’t know I’ve ordered them through Wheels Boutique and HRE made them specifically to fit my car.
