Tires IRONMAN or VITOUR
I stretch 225/35/19 Ironman Gen 2s on 9.5 wides, they seem like they have more stretch to give too.
Pros: good stretch potential
I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.
Pros: last longer, more consistent
Vehicle:
Porsche
I have these guys on my V8 SUV. Didn't give them much thought, was a good deal, and ride quality is much improved. Mine balanced fine and look pretty new after a year and almost 10,000km. I don't drag or track race, I'll floor it occasionally for a thrill and I drive probably 160km/h max on highways.
Pros: good deal, improved ride
Cons: sidewall flex too thin
Mileage: 10000 km
Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.
Pros: good, will do fine
Mileage: 128747 km
Having run a C6Z06 nationally, I know the struggle of having wide wheels and not a lot of tire choices. If I were still running it, I'd look at the Vitour P1s.
Pros: good tire choices
Cons: wide wheels struggle
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C6
Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.
Pros: good wear, track day
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Money forced my hand a couple summers back and I had to put new front tires on my Grand Marquis at the time. Had to go cheap and bought Ironman iMove all seasons. After a few months the only positives on the ledger were that a) they had tread and b) oddly, they balanced out unbelievably well. 80 MPH on the highway, smooth as glass. Ride and handling quality deteriorated quickly from new and they got loud in a hurry.
Pros: balanced well, smooth at speed
Cons: deteriorated quickly, got loud
They look better than my Vitours I bought in may... 90 minutes of track day time and 7 asphalt autocross events.
Cons: poor durability
Vitours are terrible cold and don't work well if your car doesn't generate enough heat.
Cons: terrible cold
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
Cons: slipped in wet weather
