[QUOTE="BuffDigits, post: 3406405, member: 12344"] couple reasons 1)335 pilot sports are freakn expensive and on a 700hp car nothing is going to last long so no point 2)335's do not correctly fit on a 10.5 inch rim, sure you can shoe horn then on there but your not getting any better traction then you would with a smaller tire. 3)they are too wide if you want to get the car nice and low in the rear, the fender(outer) would rub the tire (thank god I dont have spacers) anytime I hit a bump or had more then 1 person in the car, so I had to jack the rear end back up to prevent the fender from slicing open my 375 dollar(each) tires. already have my replacement tires that are not installed yet BFG KDW 2's, half the price, better tread wear rating, better rated in wet and dry weather, readily available (in case you pop one unlike the 335) BFG's are wide so I went to a 255 front (same width as 275 pilot), and 295 rear (less then an inch smaller then the 335, i said bfg's were wide right?) but small enough I can lower the car a bunch more (get my handling back) its a size that actually fits so ill get the full contact patch now (unlike the 335's) and I didnt have to spend a fortune on them. pilots rock in handling and rain, and are not great in dry weather. so been there done that, wouldnt do it again.
