Dads C63

11,000 miles and on my fourth set of rears.
Fronts are still stock.
Enjoying the beast every day.

from looking at my rear tires, i think I can go 10000 miles. of course the fiancee drives it half of the time.

I have about 10,200 miles on my original rears now About 85-90% of those miles are freeway though, so there's no opportunity to accellerate off the line and burn them up.

They are past the wear bars now, so I COULD replace them, but I don't drive the car in the rain so I'm not concerned. I am planning on 275/35 Nitto NT-05's next.

Might be a dumb question (sorry if it is), but all you people going with some wider tires, you have new wheels as well right? I'm assuming I can't run like 275 in the rear with the OEM rims?

bushburninc63

you can fit 275 on stock oem rims.

drawde

Any problems with rubbing with certain brands? Or is 275 good regardless?

How wide can I go in the front?

Jae Duk

Are you even stepping on the accelerator? I dunno how you guys get 10K miles on the rears.

bushburninc63

I don't have aftermarket tires so i can't comment much, but from my research 275 should be good with different brands. I don't know what is the widest you could go in the front though.

bushburninc63

Once or twice a week when i have that open road. I've gone up to 130 before :o I just haven't done a burnout. haven't had the need to.

I've gotten 10,000 km (not miles) on my stock rear tires, but they're really on their last legs. New tires are ready to go on (rears only, because fronts are still like-new), and I'm going with 265/35-18s instead of the 255s.

GBlansten

I'm thinking of going to that size for the next set. I think I'll keep the front size the same.

gsrjc

I thought that it was recommended with any stock oem rims that you should only go 1 size larger to avoid any speedometer problems.

So the NT05s do stick like glue and the C63 was impressive at the track with them, but I must report that the treadlife is not better than the stock Pirellis. I'm at 2000 miles on the NT05s and my rears are between 2/32" and 3/32" left. Fronts are at 5/32". These only start at 6/32" so that doesn't help either.

sumitomo htrzIII. the best bang for buck by far. 110 for a tire that last longer than any perellis, michelins, and can hang with them

Getting a new set of GY Eagle F1's. Will Discount Tire do a good job installing them? Had the dealer install my rears last time.

pmknapp

Yes discount will mount them and do a good job. Of course each place is diferent, but the Discount Tire place I go do a great job. I get GoodYear F1 A/S for $195 each 275/35 (rear) (to match Tire racks price now) on stock oem rims and never had a problem. Discount also offers free replacment if you get a "nail" in the sidewall as long as you have 3/32 tread left they will replace them for free. So if you get a "nail" in the sidwall you get 2 for the price of one, cool huh?
Also I have ran with stock oem tires and wheels up front with wider 275/35 GoodYear F1 A/S on the rear and never had any problems with "CEL" or adverse handling issues running different brands, differnet setups. When I had to replace the fronts after 30K miles, I went wider 245 and still no handling problems. I have heard that others have put 255 up front but I do guess that will depend on brands, but as for now, there is no issues front or back iin tire rubs, or handling. GoodYear Eagle F1 A/S gives better handling, and can get more miles between tire changes. got 11K on the rears now and ordering tires to put on next week. I feel you can not go wrong with the GoodYear setups for everyday driving. I run 18" not 19" as well.

yaymitch

Thanks man, that's a big help. I think I am going with 265's on rear and 245's up front. GY Eagle F1 A/S.

wuyichao

i dont know what to say... i guess you won the prize!

Another tire question...I'm at 6000 miles and need to replace just the back tires. I was thinking of getting the standard 255/35/18 for the rear Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric. Any problem with running these on the back and Pzero stock on the front? Thanks.

pmknapp

No there will be NO problems running GoodYear Eagle F1 with OEM Pzero on the front. No handling problems (unless you want to go 150 mph plus sustatined). No ABS problems or handling problems. I used 275 GoodYear F1 with Pzero up front for a few thousand miles, and no issues. Go for it.

dam225

Thanks buddy!

dam225

One more question: did you the asymmetric F1 eagles or the all season?

GBlansten

Can we chat some more on this topic????

I'm about to pull the trigger on these tires this week. I think I could get more life out of my Pzero fronts but I just want to replace all four.

Continental Extreme Contact DW

Will go 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear.

Savoy6

i just bought bridgestone re960pp's for the rear waiting for them to come in. 275/35/18's. it was a tossup between them and the goodyear f1's for me.

GBlansten

I'd settle for 7K miles out of the Continentals. 4K is lame.
