SC + 335 Michilens
What kind of mileage you getting out of the rear tires?
Describe how you drive?
Trying to decide if I want to buy a couple sets while the price is $274.
Thanks,
Lonnie
:D :D

Re: SC + 335 Michilens (lplott)
Mileage?!?! What is this mileage you speak of??? :jester :lol:
Mine aren't Michelins (still stock), but after 4K on the SC they've about had it...of course they weren't brand new when I started... :cheers:

Re: SC + 335 Michilens (lplott)
SC + 335 Michilens = still no traction. I have about 5000 miles on mine and they have about 1/3 tread left. I do some occasional drag racing and drive pretty hard. I'm going with the new 345 BFG drag radial. Good luck! :flag

Tub it and go w/ the pirelli Asemetricpos.... The largest street tire available... a 355 :eek:
The only person I know of that makes the right wheel to run this size tire in a 19X13" size is John at CCW. The wheel is not the 3 piece design but the new one. It will require Tubbing AND new ACI 1" Rear Fenders. Then you can run the 355...but even a 355 will not make a difference when you have as much torque as we do. It all comes down to your ability to apply/feather the throttle....or running Drag Radials everywhere.

Yeah, the new CCW's with 13" rears and fenders is an awful combo. Nobody should do it. I've already done it but just trying to save other people from looking so cool, errr I mean terrible. :jester

I am sure John isn't the only one running 19 x 13s... I think Kinesis can make there K59s that big :cheers:

Guys, I am more anxious than you to get my car back. Maybe if I send the knuckleheads at the bodyshop this thread they will get their butts in gear, but probably not. :mad

The Michelins are over rated IMO. Sticky 295s like the KDs are just as good as the 335 Michelins.
How do the KDs handle in overall driving, how are they on curves and do they squirm at high speed?

That's good to know. I have collected a few parts for tubbing, even a new set of 335 Pilots

If you want ultimate traction a drag radial is the way to go, doesnt really matter on the width.
