Need a little help with selecting tires for my C6

1Day · 09-06-2005, 06:00 PM

Hi I have ordered the 2006 C6 with Z51 and also ordered iForged PS Daytona Hyper black center, since the Daytona's dont come in anything smaller than 19" I have to go 19" all around, I am thinking of running 19x8.5 and 19x10, what is the best tire I can get and what sizes?

I was thinking of Michellins Sport PS2
245/35 YR19 which are 23lbs and 25.8" in diameter total (Practically OEM)
or
255/35 YR19 which are 25lb and 26" in diameter (Or can I go a little bigger?)

for the fronts and

285/35 YR19 28lbs with 26.9" dia (OEM size)
or
295/30 YR19 28lbs with 26" dia (or I can get a little bigger? if so what size)

I know the OEM sizes are as follows
245/40 YR18 29lbs 25.7"
285/35 YR19 33lb 26.7"

How can I stay within the parameters for no change in ODO and TC

This is one option of tires I thought of, can anyone recommend something different, maybe save a little money be at the same performance level :p

Also I had initially thought of black center PS Daytonas but is hyper black the same with more gloss to it?

Since I am going to get these, I would like to dispose off my OEM Competition grey wheels with tires(not more than 300-500 miles on them) How much do you think I would be able to sell them for?This is when I have my car ofcourse

drive from dealer to home.

EDIT:
Some people run Pirelli PZero Rosso, how are those? and compared to PS2s?

Thanks a ton.

if you decide you want a hell of a deal, I've got 19" tires at home that I won't be using.

Yokohama 295/35/19's in the rear (200 miles, brand new)
Bridgstone Potenza 275/30/19's in the front with roughly 70% tread.

I just, JUST had these mounted this weekend, but the seller lied about the offset of the wheels and they don't look right. Thus, I've got to pull them off and go with something else.

Let me know. I'll make a nice deal.

Can you PM me what you are asking for?

And why run different brands on front and back, would that cause any issues?

Also what size do I need for 275s to fit in the front?

To others - anyone else recommend any tires and sizes

Thanks
