I'm in need of a set of new rear tiers on stock rims. Not for the track but for street driving.

Thanks!

Their awesome tires, I've done a few good setups with these for 350 members.

However its a 305/30/19 you need a 305/35/19 for the rear brotha.

That's what I thought, but in another post about Hankook tires some members were saying it was okay to have 30 size aspect ratio. The thickness of the sidewall being 30 wasn't too big of a deal.

The OD will be off brotha I wouldnt do it

If your going to then you switch the whole setup 305/30 upfront 325/30 on the rear

If your keeping the 295/35 upfront grab some 305/35 tires for the rear.

Stock wheels/rims will take 305 up front and 325 in the rear?

This is pretty ghetto but I was thinking for a time until i need new front tires to just keep the original 285/35 on the front and put on the 305/30 in the back. When I need new fronts switch everything to 30's.

On that same thread people were saying if I did move to 30 i would have to do something with the odometer.

I know it's kind of ghetto and not ideal but the choices for 305/35 are just so limited and all pretty expensive. Maybe I should just bit the bullet and move to 30's all the way around...

You can, I mean I got a buddy rocking 345's on the factory rears no issues. I myself use a 305/325 application.

I have a buddy that has a slightly used set of 305/35 MPSS tires I took off from his car when we upgraded them if you want I can see how much he will let them go for and your in SD and we are in LA so its not that far to pickup if you want.

I've got extensive experience on them having tested them at Continental's facility in Uvalde, TX. Amazing performance in the wet. Dry performance not quite as good as Michelin and Bridgestone. One thing worth noting is that they provide less feedback than some other tires out there, making it a bit more challenging to get 10/10ths out of them. Of course on the street this does not matter, so overall I'd say it's a very good option for our cars.

I love these tires on the street. Have had them for three changes on my 05 GT. Good size selection- which was the reason I switched from Michelins [which were a lot more $$] when they dropped the sizes I needed. I switched to 18s to get wider and keep the stock height in the rear. Lots more grab on the pavement. Much better than Pirelli in my opinion.

That deal was way too good to pass up. I picked up a set of four 305/30/19's to mount on my gloss black R-Specs... in my garage just anxiously looking forward to putting them on and a professional detail.

One big reason I'm dumping the factory Michelins is the horrible tramlining! Another board member gave these tires high marks for no tramlining (325 rears!). I'm strictly street so ride quality is important as well which these tures are highly rated.

God we have awesome cars!

Just got mine in the mail today. Looking to mount the stock MPSS on my R-Spec replicas and the Contis in my stock rims. Where is everyone going to be this done? I assume I need another set of tire pressure modules, correct?

You do need another set of sensors correct.

That's what I thought. Should I go through a Ford dealer for this? Or do normal shops carry them?
