My tires are fine in the rear, its just that it doesnt seem like i get traction much when get on it. mainly from 1st-2nd-3rd gear. Right now i have Good Year Exclaim tires. im running 275/30/19 size tires. I know i should get 285/35/19 next time. but is there a better size that would help me get better traction in the rear? Or another brand tire? any help would be appreciated. thx.
Roll then , and go 285's, you will have a little more rubber on the ground. It will also change your gearing a little, that will help with putting the power down.
Definitely need to roll fenders with 10.5 width +18 offset, to fit 285/35/19's. Might even be able to fit 295s but I can only speak for the 285's from personal experience.
No they don't. Neither do 295s or 305s. It's offset dependent. Learn it, breath it, love it.
OP: Try a better tire and gentler gear shifting. A 275 is too small for a 10.5" anyway (in my opinion it starts to look stretched). At +18 you'll be hard-pressed to fit anything much bigger than a 285 w/o a roll, but rolling is easy. The extra sidewall of the 35-series will help settle the car also.
Tein S-techs? That's not even that much of a drop anyways.
well, when u have a low lip kit on its hard to go lower when you drive the car all the time. so s-techs work for me. but yea, that sounds good, 285/35/19 toyos should do the trick! thx for much help guys.
