Going to pull the trigger soon on a set of aftermarket wheels. However, having a tough time deciding what tires to go with. Ill be running a 18x9.5 rim in the front and 19x10 in the rear. Sizes I were thinking of going with were P265/35ZR18 and P305/30ZR19. Can anyone suggest a tire in those sizes that have good grip and arent noisy? Thanks in advance.

Hankook V12. I'm running 275/35-18s in the front and 305/30-19s in the rear. My rear wheels are 19x11 though.

He said it for me!! I'm running that same setup with 11in rears and really like the Ventus V12's in those sizes.

Way more grip than the previous General Exclaim radials I had and there was a reduction in road noise too!

michelin pss

or

if you want to save a few bucks the bridgestone s04. both are better than the v12, the pss quite a bit so

i actually like the v12 and it's a good choice for stock wheels but in these sizes you have better options for similar money

I would not run a 305 on a 10 inch wide rim. You should be looking at 295s..... 305 mm/25.4=12 inches....that's really pushing it.

Although it may be pushing it, I'm running those exact sizes. Hankook V12s

This is a shot of the rear tire to let you see the fitment on the wheel.

That's what i'm running size wise w/Hankook V12's. Not Pilot sports, but at 1/2 the price they are great.

Those are the wheels I'll be going with Looks like the V12 seems to be the way to go. Are you running the same wheel widths?

18x9.5 / 54mm with 265/35/18
19x10 / 65mm with 305/30/19

I like the way they look and I've had no issues thus far.

I'm running 18s & 19s with Hankook as well on my C5, Love em!

345s on 19X11.5 rim, no rubbing, no flares, no tub!

that's the thing, the new pss is $337 in 305 30 19, the s04 is $260 and the v12 is $238.

just to keep it close i suppose we could compare the s04 vs the v12

Blitz your car looks AWESOME! I like the look with no deck lid emblem.

And I don't know how you stuffed 345's under there with no issues! I thought I was getting close with the 305's but it sure looks mean!

Take out the inner liner and 1/8 in spacer, Done!!!

I don't drive my car in the rain so I can care less about the plastic liners

I've got those same sizes. Running Nitto Invo's. I didn't think I'd like them, but they've been great. Got caught in the rain a couple of times, they handled it perfectly. They even hook up pretty well with hard launches.

Zr-1Mike00

Didn't think of that. As for driving it in the rain.... I can't say the same.

cvm

freakin awesome. Love that car. Clown!!!!!!!
