Tires NITTO or WEST LAKE
Nitto 555s on my Shelby were the best tire I've ever had on a car.they were super sticky and quiet.
Neo Gens are awesome when it comes to stretch.
I've always had luck with Neogen's and they tend to stretch really well.
I'm running 215/40-18 Nitto Neogen's on my 9.5" without a problem.
I actually also like the NT-05 for track days primarily for the price. They are about as good in the dry as the RE-11's, better than the PSS but tend to get a bit noisy on the highway at certain speeds once they start to wear down.
While 255/35/19 still worked just fine, I feel that 245/35/19 is the best set up on a 19x8.5 rims. the outer lip of the tires will protect the rims, as the 245 tires will not be stretched on 8.5 rims.
I like the nitto 555r but smallest they have is 245/50r16.. would that fit on a 16x7 rim?
I went with the neo gens (205/40) they do stretch good however the sidewall is noticeable bigger than the 195/40 federal.
I've had the Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 285/76r16 for about a year and a half now with about 19k miles. I just went in to get them rotated and they told me I should consider new tires, because they're down to 4/32 in the middle and 7/32 along the edge. Of course they also don't have a mileage warranty, so I'm disappointed to say the least and won't be buying them again.
Those tires are complete total dogshit. I will never, ever put them on my car again. About 2K miles of good tires, and about 20K of greaseball bullshit.
