Wheels and Tires
I brought my SL65 in beacuse the air condition stoped working so now I come and pick up the car and the air is fixed but the car is undrivable!
All four rims are bent, and the right rear tire (which I just changed about a month ago because it had a nail, I got the contitact sport
) was severly ruined that the inside was gone (or something like that) so now I got a tow truck to bring my sl to a tire and wheel place. Now they are fixing the rims but I need new tires. ( 305/25/20).
I am either going with:
NT NeoGen ZR
FK 452
Which one is better?
Thanks

tires
I have right now 305/25/20. Now all my rims are bent so I nedd new rims and I need new tires.
Is 305/30/20 in the back and 255/35/20 in the front good or should I go with
305/35/20 in the back and 255/40/20 in the front?
What are the tires that fit those sizes, because I only found two?
Thanks

255/30R20 looks like the best match for the front because its a close match to the 26" diameter of the rears.
Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com) has several brands available in 305/25R20 and 255/30R20.

Stock tire sizes are 255/35R19 and 285/30R19. Diameter for both is around 26 inches.
255/30R20 has the same diameter and width as the 255/35R19 so there should be no issues there.
305/25R20 has the same diameter but is 20 mm wider than 285/30R19 so you could possibly have issues related to the extra 20 mm.
Suggest you try searching the forums for 305 and see what info that produces.
Good luck!
