Another tire post yayyy
So after a hiatus I have returned. I've searched and while I found these will fit. I'm not sure if they'll be good for my set up.
daily driver. That will see probably 2 weekends a month at the track..
car is turbo on 14psi all supporting mods. No dyno I'm expecting 670 from it at 5400 elevation..
will a set of 305 45 17 on 17x10 inch rims be too much out back?. It's a z car so 3.42 out back. Mexico will be a lot of 40rolls..

Cheers man, it's definitely tough with the altitude. Are you still in CO?
I've tried quite a few tires with different builds, currently I have the Toyo R888r's (345's) and they hook great (880whp) I prefer a stiffer sidewall for handling but they are also sticky for roll race/highway runs. I'm on 19's so only 345/30's, with 17s you'll definitely have a good amount of rubber. It's probably more about personal preference
NT05r's are a nice DR, Hoosiers and MT's always have great reviews. I think with that power level you'll need 305s+ or more. Always better to have more traction than needed imo
