Guest JDEE Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Not meaning to hijack your thread, but do you have anymore pics of the rear of your supra with twin tailpipes? + I think 19x8 is 235 front and 265 or 275 rear (correction awaited ) EDIT: Damn slow internet took ages to post this!!!

Guest JDEE Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 these tyres any good (rears) vredestein 265/30/19 (winter tyres) Not meaning to hijack your thread, but do you have anymore pics of the rear of your supra with twin tailpipes? They are beastly! I'd go for Falken or Avon, liked them both a lot, avon preferred. Goodyear were also good tyres, I'd still go for avon tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Stock sizes for 17" wheels are front 235/45/17 , rear 255/45/17 It's best to keep the diameter of the tyre more less the same as stock which gives you the following: On the front I would use 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 Rear 255/35/19 or if you want wider 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I would be going a lot wider than 255 for low profile tyres. 10" wheels are pretty big and it will take a lot more than 255 to fill them. I have 265's on my 9" width wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Try camskill here http://www.camskill.co.uk/ I've just had a look on that site. By heck they're cheap! Falken and Goodyear's especially! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've been using mytyres for all my recent tyres, but those prices are astounding in comparison. Maybe I'll check on them first before I order new ones, when I need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig l Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I used mytyres when i needed a 265 avon for the rear, cost me £125 delivered which i thought was pretty cheap, kwick fit etc were charging about £220. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steb9780 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I got some Goddyear F1's for the rear of the Sup from camskill 265/35 ZR18's They are much better that the Falken FK-452's they replaced. I haven't managed to spin them up yet. They seem to be far superior in grip to the Falken's, but they do seem to tramline a bit more.
