What tire setups are the hybrid/big turbo guys running?

[HuangMoney]

I have a set of Cinturato P7's on stockies for the winter....which are...less than ideal, but now that the winter seems to be coming to an end I can throw some summer tires on one of my other sets, what are your setups? I'm seeing people on 17s with 245s, and people on 18s with 235s. Stock suspension for now.

I have a stock turbo, but can still answer this question.

If you're on a stock 18x7.5 or even an aftermarket 18x8, then a 235/40 will do nicely:

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
Continental ExtremeConstact Sport
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500
Hankook Ventus RS4 (runs wide, so a 225 = most 235 widths)

I have zero experience/advice on 17s

17x9 255/40
18x8.5 245/40

don't be fooled by yesterday's warm weather.. Winter is still here and I bet we will be hit with some snow sooner or later

I have 18x8 et 35s, so maybe i'll run the hankooks, or the indy 500s, not too huge a fan of the continentals and MPS4s are pretty expensive I thought lol

17x9 255/40
18x8.5 245/40

Jesus. I can't imagine having a 255 fit without some crazy offset.

17x9 ET45

So, i'm back to square one 18x8 et45 with 225 ps4s was not enough...

how are you running 17x9 ET45 with a 255?!

I'm lowered, so that might make it more difficult

 

[Hoon]

It's hopeless.

Summer time = VMR wheels 18 x 8.5 et45 with some Michelin PS4S 235's
Winter time = stock Austins with Michelin A/S 3+ 225's
