Need to replace rear tires, running micheline pilot sports 325/25-20 currently but they are crazy expensive to replace. Anyone have an alternate size I can use? Car was lowered. Was look at 325/30-20 or 305/30-20. Any suggestions

 

Be careful switching sizes bc you want to make sure the rolling diameters of the front and rear are spot on.

What about running the same size but different brand (nitto invos)?

I tried, nitto doesn't have that size. I was looking at some dunlops for Half the price. Michelin is the only game in town Unfortunately

 

cool looking car bro

 

I run 305's on 20x11's and they are Nitto Invo's

 

Im in the same position as you. Michelin is the only tire in that size right now. Is that car in FT. Lauderdale?

 

Your car looks great Would love to see a few more pictures when you get a chance. I would possibly contact Damon from Tire Rack and see what he has to offer if you haven't already.

 

I did some research on this recently due to the same reason you are having and found that Wheel boutique was running the nittos wider in the rear (with a 13 wide wheel) and conti contact in a smaller width (with a 12 wide wheel).

Are you going to mix match the front from the rears?

 

Yes, going to miss match, I'm looking at nitto for the front 245/30-20. The rear have life still but I wanted something a little thicker for the rear if I can fit it for a better ride. Wanted to try 325/30-20 but not sure they fit. And yes I'm in ft Lauderdale area.

 

305 25 20 and 245 30 20
a 325 25 20 would fit too.

 

325's are too big for 11's

 

nope theyre not.
a michelin would be
but a japanese tire, or pirelli would fit totally fine.

 

just did some quick searching about
seems like your only true option would be a pirelli pzero 305 25 20. do it !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Steve I run Nitto Invos front and back same size so pirellis aren't the only option

 

nitto's r tough to get i hear. but yes nitto's would also work.
nitto,falken,toyo,pirelli ALL run a little narrow compared to michelins, conti's, and bridgestones of the same size.
