Hi,

just want to make a small poll about best performing tire size choices.
quite obviously not all sizes do exist in some brands like hoosiers A6, toyo RA1, etc, but still I would like to see overall consensus of what tire sizes people put on most commonly.

thanks, paul.

PS. As it was noted below we obviously have different cars but I specified exact wheel size in my question, so, hopefully results will have some practical relevance, even if only from a statistical point of view.

Depends on your car...your 997 the best will be
245/305

or

255/315 downsized and lower your car.

BTW on auto-x forum i was just told best performance camber setting for C2/C2s will be in area of -4f -3r. Would you concur?

When I had my 996 and my CCW Classic Race wheels (18x9/18x11), tire size was very dependant on when tire model I was running. With MPSCs, 235/315s worked best. Corsas (old style) liked being run wide, 255/315. R888s were terrible run wide; but ran great narrow, 235/295.

If I were to run the sizes you are indicating on my GT3, I would go 235/315 to start.

I was going to say it has a lot to do with the sidewall construction and grip level of the tire you are running. I don't think there is a one size fits all for every tire. I like shorter sidewalls on anything with sidewalls softer than a full slick. Big sidewalls are mushy on tires like NT-01. Especially on heavier cars.

FWIW, I run 255 and 335 or 245 and 335 on those rims.

is here anybody who could confirm if shaved kumho v700 265/35r18 on 9" wide rims with 50mm offset fits into 997 narrow body cars? shocks are stock but LCAs are from GT3 so wheel is pushed out a bit more than stock - does it give enough clearance to fit 265 tires?

It should be noted that the 997 runs different ratios than the 996. 996 is same front back. 997 is larger rolling diamater rear by about an inch.
