Thank you so much for posting this, I have been trying to hard to find somebody who is actually running this size. It makes perfect sense to since its a near 100% perfect match to OEM for revs/mile.

Please share, what brand of wheel and what offset are you running? I have been shooting emails out to some vendors trying to do what you are doing.

Also, can you comment on rubbing, clearance, and if you had to sacrifice rear brake ducts?

And since you mentioned no more spinning, when were you spinning before and how much power are you making? I spin violently in 2nd and barely hook in 3rd.

Curious on rubbing and such as well. I am currently running 305/35/19 Nitto NT05R DR's for my daily wheels. Wondering if these will fit with no issues and if they'll be a better tire than the Nittos.

The Michelin Pilot Super Sports are cheaper than the OEM size too, at $257 for 325/30/R19 versus $335 for 285/30/R20 (non-RF) or $415 for the run-flats.

no rubbing dont know which one hooks better I chose this one because since its a roadrace tire it will handle better at speed and still hook

Fair enough. Maybe I'll try this set-up when my tires are due for replacement.

the other reason I forgot to mention about the toyos is they dont require a lot of heat and they dont go bad after several heatcycles
