[MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION]. Sir, with my AirLift your recommendation is F:255/35/20 R:295/35/20. I would consider these tires after seeing db252's Conti set up. But the Conti's don't offer a 295 for the rear. Would the 305's work or would it be too risky for airing out? What do you recommend for an AirLift set up running these Conti's?

depends on your wheel offset. I run 305/35/20 air'd out on velgens

Excellent. 285/35-20 and 305/35-20 will probably grace my 20" wheels, so long as these aren't MPSS expensive. I was hoping Firestone would get off their ass and make a 305/35-20 to compliment a 285/35-20... but nope. So they will not get my business. Once my Cooper's die, I'd really like to try a different tire.

Sorry about that. Ya, offset is kinda important. HRE FF01's F: +35, R: +45. I forgot to include details because I had PM'd Paul, including my wheel configuration. Don't want to run negative camber for larger wheels.

You are good brotha the 305 can work fine with that offset application actually.

I wish there was a wide 35 tall tire. Don't like having 35 in front and 30 in back.

I just hope they're comparatively inexpensive and 90% as good and that they stopped it with the soft sidewall BS that Conti has been doing for 10 years.

So, Kyber, you're on Air and you had to set negative camber in the rear with 305's? So, "safe" would be to run 295's in the rear? As far as I remember, HRE and Velgen rears are the same offset, +45. If it works for you, without adjusting rear camber, I'd do 305's. If you had to mess with rear camber to fit, I'll go with another tire that offers 295 for rear. Just trying to get the widest tire back there to assist with FI traction.

I'm all in on these. I love Conti tires. I've never had a problem with them, and I can usually buy four of these for the price of 2.5 MPSS tires.

Will the 295 35 19 work on the pp wheels or is 285 as wide as I can get by with without going to wider rims ? And do you have any price info as of yet? Thanks
