Buying 315/30 R19 tyres in the UK?

[2021 Mach 1]

10.5 and 11 inch rims, nice Of course that's only if you can get decent tyres to suit but i'm sure they wouldn't offer rims that have no tyre suppliers

From another thread, sourcing the rear tyres is not impossible, but not easy. I'm probably going to give up. The car is supposed to be fun, I don't want to stress about finding tyres.

Oh ok that makes more sense now. Those the wheels that come standard with the fighter jet grey package ?

The bigger wheels are the optional Handling Package, only available in the U.S. The smaller wheels are the optional Y alloy wheels that are an option in the UK.

you have to remember that wider tyres don't increase grip per se, the contact patch is the same size but a different shape as it's the same weight of car pushing down. Also, it would appear that those running higher sidewalls for boosted applications get less wheelspin when applying said greater power. I guess tyre flex allowing for some grip rather than spinning up with shorter stiffer sidewalls hence drag tyres are taller sidewalls? Tyre compound makes the difference, widest tyres in the world made with Teflon help no one

I'd still take Teflon tyres over the P-Zeros we got on the 2015+ GT

This is a very valid point. Running tyres that wide on a damp cold December night is likely to result in many fishtailing visits to the hedgerows, because of much lower ground pressure per square inch of surface.

I run with 325 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my rears. UK Mach 1 with the Handling Pack birds nest wheels. 325 fit fine and were easier to source in the UK than 315s.

Thanks. I did notice the 325's were easier to find than 315's. What do you have up front? How does the car run on the British back roads?

I have 305s at the front. No issues at all on British roads. I love it.
