Post Help! -> 19" rear tires for TT.

Hi Guys...

I ordered a set of 19" HRE 540's for my turbo...but they are having a tough time locating tires. I was planning on using the Yokohama AVS Sport 235/35-19 front/315/25-19 rear...but the rear tire is a pain to find. Tire Rack tells me Yokohama doesn't make that size, but I know "Oak" has it on his car, along with a few other members on this board.

Could someone tell me if their are any other options or sources for these Yokohama tires in the U.S. Pirelli makes a 305/25-19 in their Rosso series...but it isn't available in the U.S. yet.

Anyone got a source for tires???

Thanks in advance!!!

You should try to find the new size from dunlop.
SP9000 245/30-19 and 305/25-19. They are actually wider than Yoko's 315/25-19 <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

when you go to the 315's, do you have to use any kind of spacers, or do they fit perfect as they are?

you don't need spacers if you have 27et in the rear.
