help: 255/30/19 with rounded side wall

engotski · 01-24-2012, 11:03 PM

- Falken 452s are not made in this size
- Toyo T1R, I believe, are discontinued

Im thinking of getting wheels at the specs 19x9 +26 F and 19x10 +23 R to fit my E92. Planning on 225/255 tire set up.

Please help if you can

nitto invo? i dunno if they have that exact size, but the invo's i've seen all look pretty rounded even without stretch.

I got Toyo T1S 225/35 & 255/30 as they are rounded. There are not many selections that come in this size.

Ah so pretty much a trade off will be mushy cornering...

I'm in the same boat as you!

Can't find TR-1s in 255/30s for love nor money. May go 265/30 or 245/35 on the 10x19s..

So far no issues. Had this setup on for 3 months so it's still too early. I can tell you that right now I got no road noise and traction is pretty good.

hows the steering response?

Im considering kumho ecsta SPT. They come in 225/255 sizes and are true 225/255 but are square sidewall...bahh

i was on the same boat about the SPTs as i'm in need for more of a rounded sidewall. as for the steering response, it's not the best if you plan on taking corners at high speeds. i don't plan on driving like an asshole and taking turns at 60+ mph. i wouldn't recommend taking these to the track as well. but for ride comfort and daily driving then yes. for tracking and taking corners at high speeds then no.

Sweet! Noise control and good traction is what I'm looking for. I'll be using them for my 230's.
