Is it worth it - New tires and wheels

My car is brand new with 19 inch 50 anniversary wheels powder coated black. My tires are Pirelli Zero 255/40/19 on all four corners with 1000 miles on them.

Im thinking about getting AMR 10 inch wide wheels so I can run 285/35/19 Mickey Thompson Street Comp tires on all four corners.

Will there be a significant performance gain over what I have now? I only want to do it if running wider tires make a huge difference. Is it worth spending the money? Or should I wait until my current tires need changed next year?

Thanks

can you please post pics of what the wheel look like powder coated black

Here ya go. Took it in low light so its a little grainy.

you will gain a ton of grip going from 255 to 285 in addition to performance tires not all seasons like the 255 are

I was hoping people would say "not that much"....now I have to make a tough decision! Lol

No problem just wanted the idea in my head. Thanks buddy.

A compromise is to go wider tires for more grip, but quality All Season for convenience and lower TCO. No need to change out wheel sets twice a year.

You can check the UTQG rating. 200 is soft. 500 is year round. 3-400 somewhere in between.

AMRs look awesome, and the MT street comps are superior to P-zero

Good tires will completely change a car. Its like putting match ammo in a rifle.

I agree. It will make a difference and you will notice it. But a HUGE difference? This is a judgement call. And why AMR? Why not a set of lightweight forged wheels and Michelin.

I'm going to guess budget.

OP, totally worth it.

Why?
