500hp+ Guys... What Tires Do You Run?

uhNexus · 01-31-2017, 10:35 PM

500hp+ Guys... What tires, width do you run? I really don't want to run an LSD (it's expensive) nor do I want to get new rims + drag radials... I'm very happy with my F14 SDCs.

I have went through 4 sets.. Really like this tire, but if you don't have an LSD, highly recommend it.

I run pss without lsd and it severely struggles for traction. Im not even 500whp. That being said they just released a successor to the pss call ps4s

mojobmw_e90 · 02-01-2017, 10:42 AM

Nitto nto5.. 255 40 18s. Have to keep 2nd gear limited to 18psi or will spin them at 60,3rd gear is full boost and it hold fine

I can't wait for these. I hear they will be out this march. Good thing I have 19"'s.

R888 but tried RE71s last summer that were great. I may try them again when it warms up.

285 nitto invo's Cut 1.9 60fts. I get good traction on the street unless its cold out. But r888's would probably be the best on the street.

Eracer76 · 02-01-2017, 12:46 PM

I love my 275/30/19 RE11's
I can't wait to try the new RE71R's next, but thats if these RE11's ever wear out, because they're holding up great so far

bigdnno98 · 02-01-2017, 01:00 PM

Stay away from Nitto NT555 G2. I have them and hate them. I've ran BFG Sport Comp 2s and really liked them. I've never really been a PSS fan. R888 is where it's at if you're talking summer only.

I've used both Yokohama Advan Neova AD08-R's and Nitto NT05's. If you're not using a R compound or drag radial type tire on the rear it will spin no matter what tire you're using over 500 whp. I've pretty much accepted the fact that the only way around it is a pair of Apex 17's with drag radials for strip duty.

Damn, I just mounted a pair of these last week. What didn't you like about them?

And what size?

they are super noisy and don't have great traction, I'd say average traction at best.

What is the widest tire you can fit on a 2012 335is coupe with 19" wheels with no rubbing?
Can you fit 275/30's?

natedog7700 · 02-01-2017, 08:41 PM

Hankook Ventus RS3 V2. 255/35/18 Square set up.

525whp hooks in second gear on a nice warm sunny day.
