Stock Sport tires with 9900 miles on them SOLVED with Conti DWS06 tires

[RobotAZ]

I’m shocked your stock tires looked that good at 9900. Mine at 10k are shot and I don’t drive the car hard at all. Rear passenger is bald. Replacing with Michelin, but if this car viciously eats through one tire while eating through the rest, this would be a PITA and I’ll likely get rid of the car. I just don’t have time for tire shops constantly anymore.

Can you post pics of the rear tires on the wheel? I was looking to do 275/40s all around. Need a visual ???

@Mugzilla came back to this since I realized this wasn't answered. Im researching again on what 275 tires look like on the Sport wheels

The fronts are 245/45 the 275/40 are the same height. they just stick OUT a bit.

Might go with 18" rims with the correct backspacing to get rid of the gap. Will reevaluate then if I want to go lower.

Looks great! plus drive around all year and not to worry too much about NJ potholes.

10mm or 12mm spacers with your rear tire set up will be perfect. You will need to install 50mm extended studs

This is mine with 12mm rear with 245 for your reference on backspacing

15mm front is perfect with 245s. Im going to switch it up to 12mm fronts with 265 wide to keep the tires under the fender
