Pics with my 18's and 19's...

Here's what I have put on my car until I can find the tires I want for my 19's. The track tires cost way too much and ride harsh on the street....So I put my factory 18's back on for now. Much smoother ride for sure....



Here's what I normally have and will put back on when I find the tires I like. Any recommendations greatly appreciated...(BTW- I have no intentions of tracking the car for now and I would like for the tires to last a while.)

What tires do you have on there now?

I am running 275/30/19 PS-2 on back
230/35/19 P-0 on front (I think that is right, middle numbers might be off 30 vs 35)

They are running ok with stock suspension. But I have never been in a 18" pcar either to compare.

I find it interesting that the gap of tire to fender varies so much with yours. must be a tire size diff.

Since those are 997 wheels, why not put 997 tire specs. PS2 295/30 and 235/35.
