Just put bridgestone potenza RE 11's 275/30/19 on the rears. Still have the OEM Pirelli P-zero Rossos on front. Man the 275/30's look sick with the AMG multispokes. So far, great grip on the rears. I can't break away as easily as before. I have Michelin PS 2's on my F355. I'm happy with them, but they are so expensive. If the RE 11's work out fine on the AMG, I will probably stick them on the F355 as well.

Placing an order for these ExtremeContact DW's.. Before I do, can anyone confirm that 245/35/18 and 275/35/18 fit on stock rims with no issues?
Someone mentioned 245/40/18.. should i get that instead of the 35 sidwall?

They will fit but they are a meaty tire and have bulging sidewalls. They are gonna look nice and wide from the rear since Contis run a little wide then most tire brands.

i just started on here and have a question for you guys, i got some pirelli p zeros recently on my front tires and have now burned out my back tires, i have been reading the threads and have been interested in the conti DWSs in either 265/275 but am wondering how much handling will be affected, since i do have some p zeros on the front... Any thoughts
