GTS rear tire pics please
what size rear tires are on your GTS? I would like to see pics of 17" cup wheels with the widest tire combo's. And any input on the plus's and minus's of putting a wider than stock tire on the car.
Thanks

I went with Continental Extreme Contact 275/40R/17 which were somewhat wider than stock.
High wear factor of 400. I needed tires that were reasonable cost and that I could get more than 8000miles out of.
My stock S03's lasted 8K only and at $250 a pop a little on the high side. The Conti's were about $150 each. Time will tell if they wear longer.
I am sure the S03s had better grip but frankly I have not noticed any difference,
Hope the pics help.
If you need another angle let me know.
Best,
Roger

Those look great! I like the stance it has, looks more agressive. Thats a good tire from what i've read, I put Sumitomo's on my GT last summer and I was pleased with the noise factor.
