Need some tire size help. Screw 315/25-19's...
So, I need a different tire size to run, and rubber in the 315/25-19 variety is getting pretty damn scarce. I have a set of T1Rs right now but have a broken belt in one and need to buy at lest a pair of rear tires. All i can find now is the Mich Pilot Sport PS2 and the Nitto Invo.
I want to go with a different tire size to give me some more choice. I did some research on the 305/30-19s and here is the size differences between the two... https://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/ti...305x30xR19.png My biggest concern is rub I guess... as this tire is taller by .5" per sidewall, or a full 1.0" in diameter. Is there a tire people are using in place of the 315 that I'm not thinking of? |
Just went thru this change. Go to PSS 305/30/19 and call it done.

I've been running this combo on stock suspension for a year now.
Front: 245/35/19 on 19x8.5 rim 45 offset Rears: 305/30/19 on 19x11 rim with 52 offset. I plan to get 10 mm spacers for the rears |
I'm lowered on springs and had to ditch the 315s to 305s. I was rubbing all over. Better choices. Lower prices. Zero rubbing now. I use 14mm spaces

If your 996TT is still AWD and you are running 235/35R19 front tires the most correct rear tire size is 295/30R19. The 305/30R19 is definitely too tall in terms of keeping the AWD system happy.

I'm running a Michelin pss in 305/3/19 and car is lowered on H&R's. I get rubbing only when I hit a pretty big dip or bump on the freeway.

Ah I should have clarified. I am RWD converted.
Did some measuring, I believe the 305/30 will work ok for me. Just concerned it's gonna look huge sidewall-wise. I do think I need to go with a wider front tire, as my 235's seem to look too narrow for my wheels... |

To clarify, PSS are Michelin Super Sport Pilots ?
And I think my rear wheels are 11's :( |
Correct.
11s will work too.Were you running 315/25/19s before. If so, 305s will fit. The PSS are a little less square on the sides compared to the 315 PS2s, which helps with clearance even with the taller sidewall |
My 235's i run now look way to narrow for my wheel. They aren't stretched but I need wider. is 245 enough or should i look into a 255?
|
I would stick with the 245s. They are on the wide side for an 8.5" rim (what I run) and fit perfect on a 9" rim.
255s will rub without pulling front fenders and modifying fender liners ect. |
245s it is then. Thanks for the help!

Just a heads up, Tire Rack has the T1Rs back in stock. I got my new rears a couple weeks ago.
