Well I had my worn out rear tires go flat today, so I need to get 2 new rears or 4 new tires... tires on my car now are the yokohama advan sport.. fronts 235/35/19 and rears 315/25/19... well they do not make the rears anymore... and of course my fronts are like new.. so what to do...? was thinking getting all new tires, trying out the NITTO INVO's.. I have champion wheels on my car.. not sure the width.. but is there another tire size combo that works on our cars? I dont want to screw up the awd system with wrong tire heights.. thank you... will post a photo of my worn tire.. steel coming thru amazing how these cars eat rear tires..

Mine look just like that too!
I've actually worn through the steel thread in places

Out of interest, how much tread do you have on the outer edge?

 

Nitto Invo's are great tires on my second set myself great wear and traction. Also check on your allignment my rear tires wore like that in the insides found out my allignment was off even though car tracked perfect. I run 19x8.5 Fronts Tires Nitto Invo Tires 235/35/19 Fronts 19x12 Inch in the Rears (18mm Spacers) Tires Nitto Invo Tires 315/25/19 Rears.

 

ant_8u outer edge looks almost new My car is pretty low... so I guess its hard to get the alignment correct.. guess dog bones rear suspension pieces are needed to stop the wear...

 

60299rtt thanks for the NITTO invo info... seems like not many brands being made in our rear size 315.. I will have to try a new alignment shop... how many manys did you get on the rear invo's?

 

Partial to falken's lots of tread life,great traction, decent price plus they can be rotated left to right to double inner tire wear. Check them out too, this is my second set, love them. Plus they have a cool tread pattern too if that means anything

 

HA, just happened to my Nitto NT01's too funny, was driving around on them corded for a while I guess and didn't even realize till one day, where I just checked exhaust and noticed... New ones arrived today

You need 19's? I believe NT01's come in 19's now, or have.. GREAT tires on and off the track

 

I love my Toyo R888

 

Boca, I just got the invos in a 265/30 and 315/25/19 and love them. They are quiet, sticky, great in the rain, and priced right. You're welcome to check them out if you come down to Pines

 

Pilot Super Sports all the way. I've had falken 452s, nitto invos, and toyo r888s. the 235/35/19 is fine for the front and the back will hold a 305/30/19 nicely.

 

I was in the same boat with a pair of PS2's, 235/35/19's up front and 315/25/19's in the rear with 2 degrees of negative camber and running PSS9's at ROW height. Well the rears lasted about 4000 miles with major cord showing on the inside and the outer looking almost brand new. So bought another set of 315's and went through the same thing. So I called my mechanic and asked him to try to get the camber as close to zero as possible and I went with 295/30/19's. Tires lasted a ton longer on the rear, but did notice the car felt slightly more unstable above 140. I do like the 295's in the rear since it gave the car a little more "cushion" and the ride smoothed out some. Now I did try some Pirelli PZeros and loved them at first, but they got out of balance quick and I had to keep getting them re balanced.

Now to your dilemma, I just checked tireracks website and they sell your tires in the 295/30/19 size. Also I have 19" Champion RG5's on my car.

 

What tires did you have on before?
Are they noisy?

 

03 996tt 265/30 in the front? never heard of such size tire for the front.. I would think its too wide..?

 

thanks guys.. I have some home work to do now..
