I doubt you will find any street tire to hold up to what you are looking for. I finally started running NT05r the drag radial daily. When it rains you just have to slow it down and change them prior before they turn into a slick.

P.S. By the way, not the right section.

There's a Tires and Wheels section. this thread isn't even in the right section either. lol

I have 295's with 36 offsets and shaved fenders. With a 42 offset I had 295 with 10MM spacers so a 305 with 42 offset is attainable

Aashenfox · 03-01-2015, 05:04 PM

Sure, but didn't he say 305s with a 11"+30 offset? That's a tough asking, even at full camber I reckon. I'm just guessing though, if you think it'll fit, I'll bow to you as an e90 owner. Surely even if it could be made to fit, it would rub unbearably?

ET 30 no way, totally agree!

I'm hearing good things about Toyo Proxies TQ drag radials. Thinking about running them 275/40/17 for drags.

robc1976 · 03-01-2015, 09:53 PM

I am going "P Trofeo"

4doorbmwpower · 03-02-2015, 11:26 AM

cost being important in my decision i am going with the Toyo R888s they are sticky last a decent ammount of time, arent like glass in the rain and best of all CHEAP

R888 in rain =

4doorbmwpower · 03-02-2015, 04:16 PM

noted. dont drive in rain in R888s

but sticky otherwise.

Rob would you say i could run 10 inch wheels(ET33) with 295s then since the 11s with 305s im hearing wouldnt work out?

We just had some pretty serious rain in cali, and i drove both my 335 and the GTR. Both have R888s, and no problem in the rain at all. Just use caution as you would on any other tire

really? How do you like them?

Sick335 · 03-05-2015, 01:03 AM

After my long search for tires, I found that Toyo R888 were the only way to go for any decent grip on the street. A bit loud, but worth the performance!

The only tire to go with if you're making over 500hp, imo

So is my GTR, still the only street acceptable tire... Lasting pretty good on the 335 so far. About 6000 miles in, still meaty

4doorbmwpower · 03-11-2015, 12:34 PM

good to know... good to know.

I bet you are spinning like crazy! I am dropped like 1"+ to, want a pic?

What's your front and rear tire/wheel set up?

Better than NT555R????

I wish there were more guys with experience running RE-11's. This is my first choice for my next set. I have PSS and I'm not as happy as I should be... Yes they are quiet, light and handle well in the rain. But they aren't very good "traction wise" in straight line acceleration.

My buddy ran RE-11 and he loved them. Said they were pretty decent at the track too
