Default It's finally sunny out - Cray Brickyard example

Poor photo but this is the first time I've really taken a shot of my car with the suspension settled on the "new" wheels and tires bought last summer. If you're looking for an example of the Brickyards, here they are:



18x9.5 front 19x11 rear with 1/4" spacers in the rear.

265/35/18 and 305/30/19 Bridgestone RE-11's look good and feel good, they have around 6k miles and a few autox days on them so far and are wearing pretty well. 3/4 or so tread life left roughly and were still pretty fast at autox last weekend. For ultimate performance I'd stick to 18x10.5's all around with the new Bridgestone RE71R's but I'm happy enough with this set that I'll be competing on them locally and street driving them for the rest of this year.
