Default Side by Side Pic

Here is a picture of the Sumi 295/30/18 on a 11" TT rim next to a Michelin PSS2 315/30/18 on a 12" GT2 rim. I noticed a much better look and significantly better traction with the Michelin

Yes if im going to spend Kumho might as well spend the extra $100 and get the V12, I have heard great things about them.

295 Hankooks on a 19x12. Not the best angle, but it should give you an idea.

I had them on my old car, the tires fit perfectly on the wb wheels:










If you want more meat, go with 305 or 315's.

I run the V12's in the summer and have been happy with them for a daily driver. I've already switched out for the winter, so these are the only pics I have handy. Planning on working on the 4x4 look in the spring.

im gonna go with Kumho or V12 as the Sectional Width of the Sumi is 11.6" and the Kumho and V12 is 11.9" which is same as the PS2.

My Cups has a width of 12.1" and looks Full and Square. The SO-2 A is 12.3" which looks weird lol

If anyone is interest I have a set of the Sumitomo HTR Z III that have about 1,500 street miles on them. I bought my 996 with a fresh engine to be a track car and Jake wanted me to put 2,500 miles on the car before I tracked it. The 888 that came on it were gone after about 1,000 miles, so I bought these to finish off the additional 1,500 miles. I'll take some pics if anyone is interested. They are taking up space, so price is best offer that is worth my effort.

225/40 40ZR18
285/30 30ZR18
