Michelins 305

Anyone running them?
I'm specifically looking at MPSS 305/19 but would be willing to entertain any Michelins that can handle speed and sticky.

There are many members using them. I use them myself their king of the road for a performance summer tire.

Many years ago I ran MPSS 295 on the rears and loved them. I would like to do a MPSS 285 front and MPSS 305 rear. The Stang is lowered 1 inch. I know thread width and tire width are two different things. I just want to make sure it doesn't rub.

What wheels do you have currently? spec wise I keep forgetting on the Roush wheels.

Are they the 20x9.5 wheels?

I'm running 285/305 MPSS on 19x10/11 setup. Handles great, excellent grip. Only complaint I have is after almost 6 months the tires are still blooming badly and I have to shine then twice a week to keep them from looking like turds.

Did you use a front spacer?

Yes, my front wheels are +48 offset IIRC (they are a back fitment) so I use a 6.5mm spacer, they clear the struts by ~2mm. Haven't seen any rubbing at all.

This will work.

I have the 19x10/19x11 Project 6GR Fives with 285/305 Michelin PSS

Perfect fitment, great grip!

Thank you brother post a couple images so they can see the fitment would be great..


Michelin are great 285/305 or 285/325 fitment.

You can do a

285/35/19 & 305/35/19

You can also do a

285/35/19 & 325/30/19

I've got the Ford Racing track pack which lowered me a bit over 1 inch and I'm running 285/35/19 and 305/35/19 on 10/11 inch rims. I don't use any spacers and have no rubbing issues on big freeway bumps or aggressive canyon driving. Ive got no power mods and the car hooks. I mashed it from first gear at 4k and with just a tiny chirp and wheel spin (in a good accelerative way) the car just goes!

ONLY complaint I have is the sidewalls keep turning brownish even after washing it a day before. I have no clue what thats from, even though i read its some sort of oxidation or something

You are running Michelins^

Sorry to disappoint you [MENTION=9254]Bahndvr[/MENTION], but although the 305/35R19 would be a real nice set-up, they don't sell that Michelin in Europe. That's why I went with the Pirelli last year (regrets) and will be going to 325/30R19 MPSS/MP4S.

[MENTION=9254]Bahndvr[/MENTION] yes they're MPSS
