Another 325/30/19 all around guy here. Missing a center cap though. 325/30/19 Bridgestone RE-11s upfront.

How have those re-11s lasted? Good street tire? Any issues with fitting the 325s on the front?

I just put them on. No issues whatsoever. Zero.

Ok, someone please clarify. A Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 325/30/19 is not wider than a Trofeo R 305/30/19??

I thought guys were putting the 325/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's on in back because they are wider..?? I'm only referring to these specific tires.

2nd question - how do the same tires mentioned above compare with the 305/30/19 size?

The Pirelli is a semi cantilever tire design. The sidewall bulges out in the shape of the letter D. Most tired have a straight side wall, like the letter I. If you measure a mounted and pressurized Pirelli 305 Trofeo R the tread width will be much narrower than the overall width ( widest point to widest point of side wall ) The Michelin tire is much more square shape so the tread width is going to be much greater on a Mich 325 than a Pirelli 305 but overall width ( side wall to side wall ) will only slightly increase. Here is a Cup 2 on a 19x11 for reference. Looks very similar to a Trofeo R in overall width, the difference will be minimal.

I ran 285/35/19 briefly and now on 305/30/19. This car begs for more tire, so much so that I'll be on Hoosiers this season.

If only BFG started making Rival S's in 335/25/19...

I have two sets of wheels. One set has the RE-11s (305s) for off season driving. they do fine in the cool/cold weather. The other set wears Nitto NT-01s. Not nearly as street-friendly as the Re-11s, but not that bad. And, on the track, they are excellent.

I am running Bridgestone 325/30/19 RE11s up front.
Rears are MPSS 325/30/19. No rubbing anywhere.

I don't believe the MPSS 325/30/19 can work up front. It's too wide.
I went with different tires in order to accomplish the look I was after.

URBAN LEGEND · 02-08-2017, 06:12 PM

One more on full 325s.

URBAN LEGEND · 02-08-2017, 06:15 PM

Last one.
