Just curious what my fellow brethrens are running for tire brand and sizes? and how do you like your current tires?

 

On my 2010 I'm running the following,
255/40R20 Front
295/35R20 Rear
Falken Azenis FK510
So far been pretty good, treadwear and grip have been great. Had them put on the end of May. Ran over something and cut one pretty bad (rear) but was covered under warranty so it was replaced for free.

 

Only have a few thousand miles on mine….but I run the same stock sizes as above, but Mich Pilot Sport 4S. Love these tires on my other cars, and so far loving them on this one.

 

I was trying to get a set of Mich Pilots 275/40/20 and 315/35/20 but it was on back order and I didn't want to wait several weeks for them. I ended up running Summer P Zero 255/40/20 F and 295/35/20 R surprisingly these tires grip like hell and not even loud at all.

 

What about this configuration below? That would protect the turbo rims and be more stable with wider tires.

According to my calculations 275 & 315 has a closer diameter to stock then 275 & 305 but yes you can use that setup as well

 

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, they are in stock 275 and 315. I currently have 15mm spacer all around with the original tires. if I go with 275x40x20 front and 315x35x20, I don't need 15mm spacer anymore. Am I right?
Many thanks.

 

My experience with my 996 turbo tells me that the most important thing to keep the same is the difference in Rotations Per Mile front/back. This is because the center diff’s viscous coupling needs the factory difference or it “thinks” there is slipping and gets engaged. this build heat and wears out the diff over time. Just keep that in mind.
