Mickey Thompson 3723R - Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tires - Summit Racing Equipment

I have a 2010 GT500 and I wanna know if these tires will fit the stock 19x9.5 rears without rubbing anything?

 

[ad445]

I think they will. The equate 305/35/19.

If they do fit, I'll be getting these as well! I found a place that sells them cheaper than Summit, with super cheap shipping as well: Mickey Thompson - 3723R - Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tire - Discount 4 Wheel

I think they'll fit perfect on these. I need to get them so they match my PP wheels and put the mickey thompsons.

A 12.5" wide tire = 305?

I have two buddies I talked to last night that have 305's on a 9 inch wide rim and they look totally fine... So I'm going for it...

 

[Pure_Evil_GT500]

I had 305's on my 18x10 bullets on my old car and they look normal with no bulge from the side wall so I think with 1/2 a inch more it will have some side wall bulge but now much... I'll post pics when I have them mounted...

Are their 305's 12.5" wide? The reason why I ask is because I have just gone through this with Alcoa's. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's are 12.5"+ wide (section/total width) in a 335/30 size. The Dunlop Sport Maxx GT is 12" wide tread width in a 325/30 size. These two tires would look like "love handles" on a 9-10" rim, and if these 325's and 335's measure 12-12.5" wide (and I have put a tape measure on them), how can a 305 be 12.5 also? :shrug:

My 325's are 27.7 and the 335's are 28.0, just like these M/T's 28x12.5.

Different 305's have different widths. These tires spec a wider wheel than stock. Lots of people run them anyway. I question if the 9.5" wheel reduces contact patch by rolling the tire on the outsides.

Not to mention turning a corner and the car feels like it is on jello in the rear.

My old rims were 18x10 and I had MT street radials with the flame pattern and they were a 26/12.00/18 and they had zero bulge on the rim...

 

[GT500RedStripe]

If you want tires that corner incredibly and also hook very well. Look at the Toyo R888 Proxes. I switch between these and M/T (rear) and know they are great. Thy are not wearing nearly as much as expected.

 

[Pure_Evil_GT500]

Thanx I'll keep those in mind...

 

[GT500RedStripe]

Seeing you are up in Canada, none of the tires mentioned here are good in cold weather.

Here is a picture of the R888's front and back with 9K miles!!:

 

[Pure_Evil_GT500]

What size are your rears?

 

[GT500RedStripe]

The Toyo R888 is 305/35ZR18
The M/T ET Streets are 295/45R18

I chose the taller ET Street for more sidewall. The taller tire fills in the wheel well very nice.

Here is the 305/45R18 M/T:

Optimum no - fit and serviceable - IMO yes with out issue

IMO your fine, that's the first time I've seen a 19" DR from MT
