Default Guys with 20x12s, and19x10s, what tires??

I'm about to possibly buy some 20x12 and 19x10 wheels for my car and I'm wondering what tires everyone is running. I'm having a hard time finding tires for the rear, any info would be great.

Thanks,
Ed

You might want to check out the Pirelli P-Zero Rosso.

I run 19X12's on the back of one of my Vettes, with 345/30-19 Michelin Pilot Sports. That's actually the ONLY manufacturer I've found that makes the 345/30-19's. Not sure about 20".

Good luck!

Dave

FYI: For a 12 inch wide rear wheel, the ideal tire width size is a 345mm tire. And, Pirelli does indeed produce their Pirelli P-Zero Rosso Assimetrico in a 345/25-YR19 that would be perfect for you. Moreover, the variety of tires available in this specific size is extremely limited to this singiular option, at this time. However, another consideration would be to go down one size in tire width, and, thereby, install a 335/30-20 in a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. IMHO: I would not go down any smaller than a 335mm width for a 12 inch wide wheel. The beauty and purpose of installing a 12 inch wide rear wheel IS to, in fact, accommodate, as well as, UPGRADE to a wider width tire. Good luck to you.
