295 tires all around or 295/305?..315? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

WHAMMO · 10-14-2016, 07:05 PM

My rear tires are done after a mere 10k miles, already, PSS AS/3.

So since no tire can survive more than 10k with me, I'm looking at something else, since I went with AS/3 for durability.

Either I get front Ecsta PS91 295 35 20(224$ each) all around OR with a Mickey thomson Street 305 35 20 (244$ each).

There is some Aptany tires in 315' at 125$ LOL..could be funny to try..

My PSS AS/3 in front are still good..

I would like some real world advice, by some plp who tried bigger tires.

I just posted a mini review about Atturo AZ850 315/35/20. I only mounted on the rears and I think they hook better than the goodyears 285/35/20. They also ride smoother. I have not tried them in the rain yet. They cost $150 each shipped from eBay. Im not talking about the AZ800, these are the AZ850.

I did 295/35/20 nitto invo's all around

jaymoo7 · 10-14-2016, 08:45 PM

so you are looking for a cheap tire that will last a while? Why not Nitto Motivo?

derieu · 10-14-2016, 09:07 PM

I will be trying a 295/35/20 + 315/35/20 setup along with a new 32mm rear swaybar

Well I always paid the premium price and I realize its not worth it. Gonna go with ecsta all around I think. Unless...I go the cheapest way with the chinese tire...

Stock tires are so nice..but they wear quickly, very quickly..I thought Michelin were a game changer for durability, but theyre not. Nothing last in the back.

XxScottxXN · 10-15-2016, 01:31 AM

Stock good years (hated them) stretched looked stupid as hell!! Bought MPSS and they were good for about 8k then got hard as hell and went quick from there. I decided to go with NITTO Motivo 275/40 front and 315/35 rear. I've only had them about 3k and so far...I'm ok with my choice. I also just cammed my car and the torque is fantastic..I don't think the rear will last for the 60k that they say!!

but..I can afford new NITTO for the back at the price they go for!!

1. You hated being glued to the ground?
2. They are stretched because they needed to square the tires to make for the ultimate track experience (which this car was made to do). Could they have gone with a lesser wide wheel? Maybe, but they decided it wasn't worth it.

Also, any tire that says they are rated for anything over 30k is no bueno as the compound is way too hard, just saying. They might work for your intended use but pulling g's will not be there forte. In the end it really comes down to what the owner is going to use the car for and it seems the OP wants the best of both worlds (which is tough to do) so maybe the nittos might work for him. I'm surprised the michelins didn't fit the bill, maybe bridgestones next?

And for this Camaro tire GURU!! The OP asked people to give their opinion of tires NOT your opinion of my post!! Yep...original Goodyears SUCK..my opinion...and the MPSS sucked as well...too much money for crappy tires. Both chipped the hell out of my car. And no...I didn't buy my car to destroy it on the track. I bought it because Im an old School muscle car guy that loved this car...and have built it just the way I want.
Really happy with the NITTO!! So far!!
So...give your opinion on tires for him and not your EXPERT opinion of my post!! POS!
