Quick Tire Question

[donpablo]

I'll be buying some rubber for my new True Forged wheels and have already decided on brand and size.....but wanted a few opinions for the front.

I have an 18x9 for the front. Should I go with a 275 or something smaller, say 265 or 255? Do I gain some turn in benefits with going with a smaller tire?

Thanks, P

I like the look of a 265/35 on the front

what brand tire are you getting? I would stick with the 275. if you go with the 265 or smaller, depending on the brand tire, it will probably be too narrow and offer no wheel lip protection.

Going with Nittos. Yeah, I think the Nittos do tend to run narrow....good thought on the lip protection.

My Toyo 265/35/18 T1R's have lip protection and I like them better than the 275's. You car won't hunt as much with a narrower front tire.
