Need tire help for RUF wheels.

Ruf recommends 315/25/19 and 235/35/19 for my 19" ruf wheels. The rears are not available anywhere. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use?

There are a few of us trying to find these exact same tires...The only ones I have found are Conti's, but they are only available in Germany. You need to find a company that would receive them and ship them to you.

I picked up the last set of Toyo TR1 in the US a couple of months ago. Awesome tire. Maybe you could ask Toyo for when they have scheduled their next production run of said size.

Order Continental Sportcontact 6 235 and 315/25 from a website in Europe and have them sent to a forwarding service who then sends them to you.

Slight, I did roll my fenders to be sure. It is a tight fit depending on your wheel offsets.

How are they doing for you? I've been riding around on my 18 inch wheels because I need to get an alignment and have not done it for a while. I guess the guy that works at that company I worked with is no longer there last I heard so you have to do the forwarding service now.

Honda has them on their Civic Type R so that they can get the Nurburgring record for a front drive hatch. Really sticky tires.
