Rear tires for Paxton car

[ilovepizza]

What's up guys, running 255/40 19 up front, what would be a good tire size and brand to go on a VMS 17x10 that'll be on the rear? Paxton car 6r80

Nitto NT01s did OK on the Terminator. It had 17x10.5 wheels and 315/35/17 tires on the back. They aren't too good until the temp gets above 75 or so.

i was thinking of running MT ET Street 305 45 17 on the 17x10 on the back and keeping the 255 40 19s up front. will those sizes be good to go?

These will work.

If you want to be even more aggressive, the ET Street R will hook a little bit better but you absolutely cannot drive these in the rain. You might be able to survive on the SS if you're extremely careful.

DR’s or nothing. Running street tires on a 600+whp car, is like wiping your azz with a turd. 17-18” 555R’s for me, and will get you home Safely in the rain.

I’m going to start using amazon more often. I started using online for engine oils and fuel filter and it’s the cheapest route so far.
