Lindsey will be finishing my P3's in a couple of weeks and I am curious about what size tires you guys think I should run. The wheels are 9X17 fronts and 10X17 rears.

I've discovered the following when I did some research and this is what I plan to run when I get P2s:

17-35-315 for the rear
17-40-255 for the front

However, I was planning to run 11" wide rims in the rear.

I've heard many say that you can a 275 up front, but you might encounter some rubbing on the foot well on hard/sharp turning...you might also need to roll the fender.

some good info here...even from our beloved diabolos88:

Dave Lindsey should be able to advise you on the best sizes for the wheels. He advised me to get 245/40/17 for my front 9's and 315/35/17's for my rear 11's.

On a 10" wide rim I always run a 285. I think a 315 would be much better suited to a 11" wide rim.

I get the rubbing with 245's on 9" wheels (has to be very sharp lock to lock turn) . I have Fikse with 9 x 17 front and 10's in the rear. 245's and 275's. As stated, 285's are good with 10's and 315's with 11's. When the time comes for new tires again, I will hopefully be able to have my rears widened (at a reasonable cost) to 11.5 and go to 315's. If not, I will go to the Lindseys as well. 275's on 10's looked good when I first put them on 5 years ago but after seeing some with 315's on an 11.5........

Thanks for the input guys! I can't wait to get these POS AZEV's off and the P3's w/ Goodyear Eagle F1's mounted up.

Not to be mean, but I agree...those things have got to go! I can't wait to see an updated avitar!
