Tire Dilemma

255/40 and 285/35 would be your best bet.

 

Oh shit, skipped over that my bad. 275 and 285 is only a 10mm difference.. so for $250 less, I'd go 275s.

 

**** just run the 275's at that price you can't go wrong better tire cheap enough it won't make you sad I'd you light em up a little

 

i'm not crazy bout 255/40 up front and 275/35 in the rear just because that will make the rear tire shorter and lower profile, 285 would be less noticeable.

 

That would be closer but I believe the 255/35 will be shorter than a stock tire would be.. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Why not 245/45/18 and 275/40/18 out back? Just a suggestion, might be cheaper

 

well you're already running a pretty short tire up front so if you like how that looks 255/35 may be fine for you. I priced out some Sumitomo HTRZII tires and they don't seem too expensive, unless shipping to Canada is really that much extra. here's my pig with 255/40 and 285/35 in case you're interested

 

damn man really, even though it says free shipping lol

 

No free shipping to canada

 

Holy crap.. $450 for 2 sumitomo tires?! That sucks man.. You could get a full set of four, staggered for like a tad over 500.. They need to be imported to you right?

 

How close are you to the border? If you're within driving distance, check to see if you have a border storage (place you can ship goods and they charge your a small fee for the service).

Thats what I do for larger purchases. Save tons of money.

 

Well heres a way to look at it.. For 700 your car sits an inch higher, which results in more ground clearance.. So figure what another $500 or maybe more on shocks, struts, springs, cc plates? Or.. let it drop .5'', lower it like 1.5'' all around, take out isos and save money. are you lowered now at all? or iirc you have cut springs right?
