Tyre Advice

Hey Guys

Got my car dropped and it's very low at the back!

I need a wheel thats 255/30/19 to fit!

Would anyone recommend Pirelli Pzero Silvers? or Falken 453s?

Thanks for your help!

So you need wheel or tyre? 255/30/19 can be any wheels between 8-11j wide.

It's more than likely the wheels that are the issue than 265/30.

I'm still confused if you are buying just tyres, or tyres and wheels?
He have 265/35 now

Sorry for my vagueness! I'm currently on 265/30 R19 on 9.5 et 22 - its the Falken 453.

I'm looking to change tyres on this alloy wheel to 255/30/19

Which brand of tyres would you recommend? Falken or Pirelli Pzero Silvers?

i run the P-Zero silver and really push hard and on track,they are awesome tyres,so much better than the 453 which i have used),i have tried a hell of a lot of tyres on all sorts of cars from 1.0 fiestas to 550 bhp skylines and i have found nothing as good as the P-Zero Silver,the Michelin PS3 are about as good i would say but not much else

could be that yours is LCI so has the 8mm wider track, if his is Pre-LCI then he has 8mm more room.

how can you put nexen and maxxis in the same category as Michelin ,Michelin are a premium brand,the others are not in the same league,the Falken 453 are a quality mid range tyre and they are the least i would consider

I work for a tyre company and for rain, fuel and general wear a lot of mid range are matching pirelli Michelin conti on ratings. Not like it used to be ages ago mid range are improving. there's a tyre company called A-three they are £25 roughly, same size pirelli £80 same rating in rain and the better on fuel.
