D-Rage Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Hi guys was looking to get some track day tyres (888's or ad08's) but as far as I can see can't get any that would fit my wheels running 19 inch 9.5 width front and 10.5 width rears I've been looking with a 35 profile to not throw the speedo out. Can anyone recommend any tyres? Cheers Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 It would help if you give us the Tyre sizes you want. Maxxis do a track Tyre as so a few other places. Quote
Ekona Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Pilot Sport Cups? That's what the GT3s run, so definitely available in 19". Just don't ask the price... Quote

D-Rage Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 I'm guessing 245/35/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears running 235/35/19 and 255/35/19 atm fronts have slight stretch rears have a lot. Just concerned about what would fit as my cars lowered a bit. Quote
Ekona Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) As it's for track, save yourself the effort and go buy some cheap battered Rays for a few hundred quid, then shod them in standard size 888s. I wouldn't really bother considering any other setup for track, you'll end up costing yourself a small fortune for zero gain. Edited August 23, 2013 by Ekona Quote
KyleR Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Good point from Ekona! Plus the 18's will be lighter, rim and rubber and cheaper tyres, offsetting the extra cost of the rays in the first place. Quote
D-Rage Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Well I'm getting a tt set up as well so want as much grip as possible at all times really so don't wanna switch wheels, just trying to figure out what would fit my current ones. Quote

Zmanalex runs around 700hp at the hubs on r888's, standard 18" sizes Quote
Neilp Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 You wont have as much fun on 19's tbh. Most 19's are heavy and the car won't feel as nimble. This is from my personal experience. Quote
Ekona Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Just get some 18s. As Neil has said, you really won't be struggling for grip on those. Quote
