Default 295 Tires

Ok guys, it's about time for me to get some Volk (TE Time Attacks ) on my car and I’m not sure what tire to go with. I know I want a 255/295 but not sure what tires offer me a 255/30/19-295/30/19 or 255/35/19-295/35/19. Can anyone give me some ideas of what a good tire choice would be for <$1200? I know I can get some Toyo T1R's for 1200 installed but the only problem is they only come in a 285!!!!

BTW: i have Tanabe Springs and will be switching to coilovers soon, if that makes a difference.

Look on the Tire Rack website. You can search by tire size and sort by price.

275/30 and a 295/30 is what u should go with. 35 series is too tall. 255/295 will make it understear.

For 275/295 your only options are:

Continental Sport Contact II
Michelin PS2
Yokohama ADVAN Sport
Potenza RE050

JET

275's won't work for you with such an agressive offset and the car so low. No I don't have any pics yet. Sorry !!

In MY opinion (there will be others here who will inevitably tell you I'm wrong) a 255/35 will be the biggest you should run. try to stick wit ha 275/35 in the rear unless you are FI.

Ya thanks. Everyone keeps telling me that but i just don't like the way the 275's look. Maybe a 255/285. Not sure.

I am running Michelin Pilot PS2 295/30 in the rear and 255/35 in the front.
But I am swapping out my rears for some 305/30.
