I got a set of 19's for the BMW and I'm looking for prices on the tires. My only problem is I dont know how wide of a tire I need. The rims are 19x 8.5 in the front and 19x 9.5 in the rear. I think I'm going to get the Pradda Spec 2's. I had them before and I loved them. Could someone help me out with the proper tire width? I have never had a tire wider than an 8 so i

 

I know its a noob question and all, but most of you guys know your shit so thats why I asked here rather than some tire salesman.

 

235/35-19 up front and 265/30-19 on the rear.

 

Yep, exactly.

 

cool ty so much guys! AZ FTW!

 

One more question. Have any of run this tire? If so what do you think of it? Also, would you buy them again? thanks for the info
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

 

^ I had those and they are too loud.

How about some Toyos? www.edgeracing.com has good pricing.

 

I am currently runnin the KDW's and I love them. They are a little loud but other then that they are great. Awesome grip.

 

according to Tirerack the have great wet and dry grip.. It rains so much here, that I want to get a get wet/dry tire.

 

Dang, them is expensive tires.

$200 a pop. Ouch!

But yeah, they grip like crazy.

 

hahha those are cheap! some of the nitto's and yokohama's are like $450 ea. for the rear tires.

 

Evil you know you gotta post pics of that when you get them!!!

 

for sure mang!! My baby is almost here. Last week the sales man called me and said my car was on the ship about to hit port in NC.. then the wait through customs and finally on the dealer.

 

Well yeah, when compared to a $450 tire. But I'm poor so $200 a tire is a lot for me.

 

Goodyear F1 GS-D3

The tire has a lot of neat implements like the curb protector, wider tread block and the unidirectional tread pattern works great in the rain.

 

^^^ ftw I roll with these on my Z.

 

on my way to pick up my baby in the next hour!!!!!!!1!!!!

 

+2 Ive been using them for over 3 years now. I think i may try the new F1s.

 

Anyone know if a 245 with fit a 8.5" rim?

 

It should fit, it may not be optimal but there shouldn't be any problems with putting the tire on the wheel.

 

Yup it'll fit.... my old tires were 245s on an 8" rim (factory)

Oh and don't know if you're set on what tires you've decided yet, but I recently got Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. Believe it or not, they were cheaper than my GS-D3s AND they cost less! Even though I got a wider tread section and lower profile tire, it has less noise, the same curb-protector and has a little more dry grip. Great tire, I highly recommend it! Also highly rated by a few folks on Corvette, Camaro/Firebird, 350Z and G35 people, from what I've read so far. The brand is more common in Europe though.

The Goodyear F1 Symmetricals got really good reviews too, tirerack rated them #1 over the PS2s.
