Looking for street tires for 350R

[carholic]

What are your advices? I seem to remember someone saying they went with a street tire and maybe even a slightly narrower front tire and it reduced tramlining? What sizes should I look for? Any experiences?

Thank you.

I ran the stock size Bridgestone RE-11's, front and rear, on my GT350R and loved them but, I believe Bridgestone replaced the RE-11 with the Potenza S007A.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s (315s front and 325s rear)

look great and do not tramline anywhere near what the Cup2s tramline.

Looks like someone needs a little negative camber

Probably not. Look at any picture of these guys running 325 4S's...they all look like that. That tire is HUGE. I hated it. And glad I hated it enough to drive me towards the Conti. The Conti runs small and I love it.

And since we're on the topic...Continental Extreme Contact Sport. 305/325 30's will keep you stock sizing. As I just eluded to, the 325 Conti runs small compared to the Michelin and will fit about just like your 315 that you're accustomed to looking at. AND, a Michelin is not the end-all-be-all of tires this community seems to think. There are other options. The Bridgestones would be another great route. For Street duty, the Conti's are the bees knees and will serve you well. They also 100% eliminated tramlining on my car with no other changes.

My 325s on the yellow R don't stick out. It has negative camber setting. 325s on the Base R stick out. It has street alignment settings

Negative camber setting will bring the top of your tire inward.

I need to get the base R realigned because I cant stand the tire poking out like that

Edited to add:
Same tires, same wheels, same car. The only thing different is the alignment

would it kill michelin to make a 315? they have to know that a lot of 350R owners are looking for another option. they are the only company that makes 315 30 19.

@Tomster well then we're both right, LOL!

I don't know. Again, the Yellow R doesn't poke. The others do. The yellow R is the only one with a track alignment. Not trying to bicker, just stating observation from a direct comparison. 325's are only 1/8" bigger (wider) than a 315 I do believe. Then it comes down to tread design if all other things are equal.
