What tires are popular for 245/45R20 - 275/40R20?
 
I am currently on the Stock Pirelli's and 1st-3rd on hard pulls I look like a deer running on ice. Has anyone had any luck with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+? My ride is my daily, but I only put 6ish miles on it a day. Any recommendations are welcome, and thank you for your time!

I'm thinking about going with BFG G-Force in a month or two but I've been running Falken Azenis and haven't had any problems, but could use a bit more grip.

Go look in our wheels/tires section.....tons of info.
I love the Cooper Zeon.....but you can never go wrong with Michelin.

I am running P-Zero Run Flats in the back, so I know how you feel.

They have the hardest rubber I have ever had on a tire and the sidewalls are like solid steel. Surprisingly though, the ride isn't too bad.

I’ve got 11K on the stock Pirelli’s and after a tune I found out how hard they were on a 1-2. Then I started worrying that if I had something that really hooked up, would I leave halfshafts in my wake?

I’ve got the G Force on my SS. They are decent tires, if I want to I can break them loose especially when it’s cold out. I’m happy with them so far.

I'm happy with my Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s.

I have 295/35R20's on the stock rear rims, and 265/40R20's on the front. They hook up pretty well on my car. A lot better than the P Zero's. If you change the tire sizes, make sure they are close to the same height or the ecm will throw up all kinds of lights on the display as it can't compensate for the tire circumference difference.
I have heard that the tire height needs to be within 6% front to rear.

This is what interests me.
I want wider tires, but I want to keep the factory rims.
Does this setup do not cause problems on your car?

How many miles do you have on them so far?

To be honest I’m not sure. They were on the car when I bought it last fall. I’ve put ~3000 miles on it and haven’t noticed any real tread wear. I’ve had some fun in an empty parking lot on a few occasions with the nannies off and the rears still look great.

mcbuff52 02-04-2019 05:17 AM

No, no problems whatsoever. The car rides a little harder, but handles much better, and hooks up well. I was concerned the 295's wouldn't sit flat on the stock rims, but they fit great. No problems with the front tires rubbing anything also.

i use mine for a DD as well and put on about 30 mi when i do drive. i went with the continental extreme contacts and absolutly love them. i deal with some rain up here so i wanted a great all season tire. did my research on them and good reviews even for dry roads.
