Hey!

It depends on what you want them for...

From your set up, I will presume you track your car.

If that's the case, and durability (UTQ200) isn't a concern, Definitely go for:

* Bridgestone Potenzas - RE 71R!

Finding the sizes you like can be an issue but, 305's in the rear will do nicely.


Cheers!

@Trevorstein is correct, it really depends on your main use. Track tires will be more resistant to wear and have stronger sidewalls, while drag radials are generally made of softer compounds and don't have as much lateral stability.

I personally went with the NT555RII's and I'm on Eibach V1's such as yourself, but on Bilstein B6's as well. Love them so far.

thanks for answering! I use the car for street racing and traction has always been a problem. the ad08r are not as sticky as i thought.

I have as option:

305 / 30r19 r888r
305 / 30r19 RE71R
305 / 35r19 nt555r2 (very high)
305 / 35r19 MT s / s (very high)

As I mentioned above, the 35 profile on Eibach V1's gave me plenty of clearance, so I wouldn't necessary consider it "very high". If you were lower and tracking the car it might pose more of an issue, but for straight line traction a higher sidewall is better.
When deciding though your wheel offset should be taken into consideration as well. I'm running 19 x 11 et+38 and have a little bit of poke on 305/35's, but again with the mild drop of the V1's it's not an issue.

I have 275 / 30r19 on the front. what worries me is the difference in diameter compared to the front (1.91in)

what is your front configuration?

My fronts are 275/35r19. The DSC is adaptive though so you shouldn't have any issues in that realm.

Signature Wheel BMW Jimmy, our buddy Enzobaa needs your advice on rear tire fitment for 19x11 to match front 275/30 on 19x9.5. For street racing he needs better than the RE71Rs since I can't grip on those 305s either, and his Paul tune is 50HP hotter than mine. I lean towards Mickeys if he needs ultimate straight line grip. There is also his concern on diameters and the TC light.

I think my best option is to buy a set of apex 18x11 together with some 315 / 35r18 sticky tires. 19 rims look great but not many options = (

I know Jimmy@Sig always recommends the MPSC2 in 315. I ordered 9.5 and 11.5x19 SV107 wheels and the 325 Mickey S/S but the tires aren't here yet. That should grip!

325 / 30r19 mt s/s could be a very good option so I keep my wheels. I have rohana 19x11 et 35. someone has tested this confirmation if there is rubbing.

Here is your existing setup and compared to the 325s. You can follow the link and play with from->to for ET and sizes. Great tool!

19x11 ET35 is too aggressive for 325. 19x11.5 ET44 is better for that size tires.

Stay far far away from the M/T SS Street unless you like a very unstable car at 100+. We tested them on multiple cars including the new G80. They will take a very stable car at speed, and introduce a very big pucker factor

Chris, do the MT S/S work for straight 60-130 and digs?

My pair of 325/30/19 arrive today.

That’s only if they are not balanced correctly. They must be road forced balanced. Everyone runs mickeys in Texas on nights in Mexico to 180mph. Lol.

Who does good road force balancing? All I see is a spin-balance by big name shops...
