As a matter of fact, if I can't get good rubber for my stock rims soon ( unfortunately Hoosiers suck in the rain ), I'll be looking at getting new rims that will accommodate PS2's !!!

Kyle, any status please?

I came to the same conclusion. MIchilen PS2 335/30ZR20 diameter 28"

or Pirelli P Zero Rosso 315/35ZR20 diameter of 28.7"

The Mich are a little short the Pirelli are very close to stock.

And I haven't yet driven the car with its new Whipple - yikes!!! eek:eek

So, are the Pirelli P Zero's our closest performance tire option to stock sizing? I need to come close to original overall diameters front and rear so I can clear my driveway.

I would call the P Zero a high performance street tire, most likely best than the Goodyears, but not anywhere near the grip of a Hoosier. It is the closest to stock diameter street tire I have found to date. You can always use a smaller diameter tire and raise the rear a little, but it would look bad IMHO.

Randy are your clearance issues in the front or back, or both?. May have some ideas.

 

[SYCO GT]

Would like to stay as near stock height on both front and back.

Randy, if you have no wiggle room at all, I think your stuck with three choices. I have researched them quite a bit as it seams others have.

1. Go to larger wheels as tire diameters match better. Lots of choices, but he best value seams to be the CCW wheels. Every one has their taste bu the ones Ed Sims selected for his car I think would look pretty good on Black.
2. Stay with Goodyear
3. Hope the Stillen deal comes through on the Dunlops. :thumbsup...Go Kyle !

Stillen would need to buy enough tires for 500 cars at a time.

I'll take 2 sets.

What happened to KUHMO tires?

 

[kmillen]

We are still working hard on Dunlop to get us the necessary information about these tires.

I am very sorry that I have not been able to supply more information but Dunlop has been very slow with their quoting process.

I am interested to see some more news about the Kumho's as well.

I just looked at a Gt sitting on a dealers lot. It had Bridgestone on it.
The rears were the Potenza Re 050A Scuderia 345/35/19 on stock wheels these are real close to the stock overall diameter.
The fronts were an exact match 235/45/18. They were Re 050A's as well but I didn't see the Scuderia name on them bit it was dark. They looked nice and felt grippy ..

 

[SYCO GT]

Nice work Brian. Anyone else running the Bridgestones?

I assume you mean 345 for the rear width...

 

[BlackICE]

If the 345/35/19 fit the stock rear wheels then you can also run the Pirelli PZero Corsa System. But they are more of a track tire at treadwear 60! A expensive replacement for Hoosiers.
