Why am I having such a hard time...(tires)

bunnn · 03-29-2010, 12:05 AM

locating 275/35/19s(RE11 or AD08) anywhere in Toronto...asked my own shop, who asked a few places too..asked Tirecraft(nothing, but he said he'll double check for me)..I just want my summers

i guess i'll have to order from TireRack soon

STALKER · 03-29-2010, 12:45 AM

Thats because you can't get RE-11s or AD08s in 275/35/19s. The AD08s come in 275/30 and I think the RE-11s come in 285/35.

bunnn · 03-29-2010, 01:15 AM

Yeah, that was what I gathered from browsing on Tirerack ...but when I purchased my wheels originally, I was told otherwise..didn't bother to check until now

not sure what I should be using on a 19x10 rear wheel...I asked for 285/30/19 too

Jaypod · 03-29-2010, 10:06 AM

You could run a 295/30 on the rear in the AD08. Will work with a 10" rim.

Just hurry up and buy tires - you and Turb934 are killing me!

hmmm lots of tire shops in toronto get wholesale from tirerack, I'd figure they should be able to get anything tirerack stocks...

I'm trying, nothing is working in my favour! I will look into other sizes though, just didn't want it to have reverse effect on performance.

That's what I figured too, but I think the problem is..I was advised the wrong sizes to begin with

Anyone running Vredestein ultra sessanta tires in GTA, if yes, any feedback? and where to get them

Jaypod · 03-29-2010, 05:59 PM

I am running 255/35 and 295/30 for the past few weeks and the car feels great. I have noticed the benefit of the extra rubber on the back and cant say I have noticed any understeer whatsoever. So that may be some food for thought. Happy hunting!

bunnn · 03-29-2010, 06:06 PM

but you're running on 10.5" rears right? ...just that I've been told by a few individuals that the ideal size for a 10" is 275/35 or 285/30...but I'll definitely be unhappily hunting with such great weather

Jaypod · 03-29-2010, 06:12 PM

Yeah I am which is more optimal for a 295. You can run a 295 on a 10" wheels - cant imagine you would notice much if any difference. If you can find the tires you want in a 275 or 285 with the right rolling diameter go for it - 295 I think is still a option.

bunnn · 03-29-2010, 06:46 PM

I can't find the tires that I like in the sizes that are ideal....and after looking at the tread pattern between RE-11 and AD08 ..i have to say..I'm a bigger fan of the RE-11s. Going to go with the 245/35/19 and 285/35/19's at this point. Will report back!

What rims are you using?
285/35 with a RE-11 might rub, its wide tire.
You will need to run the right wheel, right ride height and camber.
Personally I think the 245 and 285 combo is poor choice and will induce a lot of understeer, but thats just me.

If you are set on running AD08 or RE-11s, you can run the AD08s in 265/30 front and 295/30 rear.

bunnn · 03-29-2010, 07:55 PM

Neez Eurocross 19x8.5 fronts and 19x10 rear..

I'm pretty set on the RE-11, not so much the AD08s...but granted my limited selection I cannot be too picky...but from what it seems like, the difference is minimal for your recommended set up.. but the recommended width range for 295/30/19 is 10.5-11.5 ..not sure if that's too applicable for me

Fronts
Speedometer Difference: 1.980% too fast
Diameter Difference: 1.95%

Rears
Speedometer Difference: 1.315% too fast
Diameter Difference: 1.3%

I'm not sure how these numbers work, but since I'm on a lease..I wonder how many more KM's I'll be picking up with this set up

Edit: i figured that km's out..not a big concern..but the wheel width is..

niqui · 03-29-2010, 07:58 PM

i bought re 11s...waiting for them to arrive.

bunnn · 03-29-2010, 08:10 PM

yeah buying RE11's isn't the problem..finding the right size for my wheels is
