Both of those tires are garbage, and there are minimal track worthy tires in 19. On top of that you will need to refi your house to pay for 19" tires...

$400 more gets you legit rubbers with Alberto's setup.

Based on strut logic, you'll give up $1200 worth of tires to save $400

No, I saved $400 to purchase wheels that I have wanted. I didn't want Alberto's wheels because I don't like that model.

Understood. Is it mixed tires or two sets of tires?

Rip them off, Craig's list them, and get some pilot sports.

PS2s run about $450 each from tire rack, guessing around $500-600 each locally.


Good tires = $$$$

For all purpose DD/Track I would probably run RE-11A's. Good at everything, exceptional at nothing. Unlike bridgestone's of old, they are priced lower than Dunlop Z2's, Michelin PSS, RS3, BFG Rival, etc....

+28 is really weak man, look for the common +20-23 front and rear.

Idk what that means! enlighten me on offset size

EDIT: nvm, I get it. Doesn't really effect anything just how far the face of the wheel comes out
