Need tire help!

Okay I am ordering new wheels and tires for the RED BEAST! Need to know which tires to go with. Most people seem happy with the Yoko 305x25 rears but others are running the 315x25 Conti's. I know at our NJ/PA meet someone was having rubbing issues with the Conti's. Anyone else have opinions?

By the way Tire rack is on backorder for the tires.

Wheels will be the SSR GT3 like on Ken's car!

Contis all the way - even the 295s are wider than the Yoko 315...

Not sure how long you can wait to order them, but I am running Conti 315's on my new HRE's, and I have Bilstein PSS-9's coming in early next week. I plan on "slamming" the car as low as I can so I can let you know about rubbing. Nice choice on wheels, ever since Ken sent his pictures to our dealership of that car I have loved the look of those wheels on the TT.
