TOYO PROXES R888R

[Check06]

Has anyone run these tires 285/35R19 front and 295/30R19 in back?

Concerned about it looking off which thicker sidewall tire in front but i cant find 285/30R19s or vice versa yet for these.

Running SVE S350 rims 19x10 front and 19x11 back. wish i went with a more squared setup but is what it is.

I ran 265 and 315 on my Vette. These tires are awesome.

That will definitely be noticeable and look goofy. Why not just run 295/30/19 on all 4 corners? That tire will fit both widths.

It didn't look goofy at all it looked bad ass.

heard a lot of good things about these. just curious about

I've read that its not a great idea to fit a 295 tire on a 10in rim is why or i would. May have to look into different rims for it. 555G2s are not working at all for me anymore

I thought it was pretty clear I was answering the OP's question lol, I run 345/30/19 and 295/30/19 R888s on my Vette

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, the actual manufacturer of the tire says it's recommended for a 10-11" wheel. A 295 is plenty fine on a 10" wheel, just as it is on an 11" wheel. You're 100% fine and within the manufacturer's recommendations

The R888Rs, and any other r-compound or drag radial, aren't good in cold weather (and should not be moved at all in freezing/near freezing weather) and obviously rain, but if you drive with a little caution in cold/rain, you're fine. They make a decent daily tire in SoCal, but not so much in Northern states.

Why not a 305 or 325/30 in the back?

The 325/30 pairs well visually with a 285/35 up front, and the 305/30 is the same with a 275/35 up front.

I agree with running 325/30 in the rear. Toyo has changed up the size offerings over the years, so I assumed he already researched sizes and wanted the 295/30s haha.

The front tire on a 285/35 f 325/30 rear would be slightly taller than the rear, but not as noticeable as his original choices.

I'd personally choose the 325/30 rear set up for a taller, wider tire. Use the potential of the 11s and help fill the fender gap a little. I'm running 275/40/19 square on mine because it's a daily and I don't have to slam it to fill the fender gap nicely.

Guess i'll do some more digging on a 295 on a 10in rim or call a manufacturer. I had seen the mention of tire limitations for rim size a few times on here and just accepted it lol.
I'd go 285F, 305R again if the ratio was the same but i cant find that anywhere so far.

I questioned the use of a 305 over a 295 wide tire in back because tire rack wants $100 more for the 305 tire and $150ish more for a 325 but this car isnt here to save money anyway.

Where do you go for tires?

on Tire rack i see these sizes;
275/35ZR19(96)
285/35ZR19(99Y)
295/30ZR19100Y
305/30ZR19(102Y)
325/30ZR19

No need to call Toyo, it's listed on their website under the tire specs. It's also listed at Tire Rack. You're plenty fine. Tons of people run super stretched and bulged tires with no issues as well, so you're definitely fine if you're within manufacturer specs.

I go to Google for tires haha. Whoever has them cheapest gets my business most of the time honestly. I've had good luck at simpletires.com and onlinetires.com. Onlinetires is where I got my full set of 305/35/18 r 275/40/17 f R888s a couple years ago for $880 to my door. Although, you *may* get "fresher" tires from a place like Tire Rack. Build dates come into play on some of these sites, but if you can confirm they're a recent build date before ordering, it's a no brainer.

Just Google the size you're looking for and it will give you several options, even at times when Tire Rack doesn't have the size available.

Ridiculous sizing. The front tire will be 1" taller than the rear causing all kind of headaches for the AdvanceTrac.

Actually a 325/30r19 is the exact size in diameter and sidewall as a 275/35 up front. Where 285/35 is slightly taller than 325/30. So visually speaking the best combo would be 275/35R19 up front and 325/30R19 In the rears. And to be honest you would probably get les over steer with 275‘s. Just saying.

275/35 is the exact spec size wise from diameter to sidewall as 325/30. 285/35 is taller though. Not 1in. More like .2 inches. It’s actually not ridiculous sizing got it’s close to spot on. 275 is just way better size wise when using a 325.

Thanks for the feedback Semp, I put more focus on suspension and ability to run a more square setup
