Pretty much in the title text.

Going to be considering something like MMR350s. 385/35-19 front seem close enough to a 27in tall tire.

Not a lot of options out there and have a missed list.

Wish there was an easy to read table of size/make suitable for front and rear. Browsing tirerack and other sites to find the various makes is a pain.


Would also be nice to have tire weight to know which tires are lead weights versus lighter weight.

You will definately have rubbing issues with those 385's in the front !!!!;)

Do you plan on lowering the car ?

I normally do the following setups depending on brand

275/35/19 & 305/35/19

275/40/19 & 305/35/19

You can also run the 285/35/19 but need to find a good pairing with 305/35/19

If you run a square setup you can easily run a 285 all around

Derp/typo.

285/35-19 front.

If I lower it will be a 1 to 1-1/2 inch front/rear max. My 2015 will stay largely stock til 3yr bumper to bumper wears off. I have a 95 on coil overs and an 05 on lowered springs and adj shocks for my fix of lowered hard driven cars.

I figure about 3-4 months from now I will be ready for a lighter set of wheels and beefier tires as spring gets ready to hit. March is damn good driving weather in my area.

About the only maker with a wide selection is Michelin, few others in the game for a matched set front to rear.

Will go staggered 10s front with 11s rear.

I'm thinking 285/35-19 in the front is the way to go (close to eom diameter). Problem is finding rears that are close. I think the solution may be to go with 20's on the back.
285/35-20 or 295/35/20.
As is happens the 285's are both available as goodrich g force rivals.

Michelin is a good choice to be honest, if not then 275/305 NT05 as stated is another good option as well.

A 305/35 or 315/35 on a 19 would be damn near perfect diameter to a 275/40 19.

We all know how rare those are.

If this car is gonna get run hard it will be canyon carving and track/autocross events.

I am not a drag racer.
