GREAT deal, but I don't think they'll fit my 997S. Sorry. Your car looks like a widebody.

my car is narrow body C2 - same as yours, 335 tire fits fine on a 12" rear rim in NB GT3 offset. i`ve been unsuccessful to find 275 fronts for half price otherwise I would run those 335s but i am not going to buy 275 fronts for $405 apiece plus I already found 255/315 r888 with great discount.

Question for all: If I run 335-30/18 rears with 245-40/18 fronts, will it upset the PSM?

Also, has anyone had experience mixing Toyo tires front and rear? For instance: Ra1 on the front and R888 on the rear?

If you do 335 on rear you will need 255 or 265 on front. You really don;t need this much tire for DE's even driving 9/10ths. I would not run the 245/335 combo.

Utkinpol....I need new tires and am going to run the R888 255/315 combo really just to get the smaller diameter for better accelleration...just to see how that works....

Where did you find a good deal....prices? Thanks!

Mike, i think i gave you ebay link to 315s before -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-NEW...item43a4a631cf
John from CCW gave me that link and he apparently have dealt with that seller before with no issues, i got my pair from him as well with no issues.

255s i got from a friend who did not need them and before that had got a pair on a sale at frisby`s shop i think. deals do pop up from time to time, it just takes some time to track internet constantly.

thanks, paul.

it will not upset it. you just need to pay attention to diameters and make sure fronts half inch or so are smaller than rears and not other way around.

245/335 is theoretically not an ideal combo but it all depends of what you are after.

Mike...Mobonic has your tire.

If you want to get utkinpol's 335's then make sure you bump up the fronts to compensate the balance of the car.

When is your next track event? I'll be at PCA next weekend and Chin next month...hope to see you there.
