What is the best tire for the GT?

**GTViperman** · 07-03-2009 07:20 PM

I will be needing tires soon and it looks like we are very limited on what tires we can use on our cars. I have heard Bridgestone makes a set for the GT, but the Tirerack does not show them in our size! What tire have you guys been going to when it is time to replace your worn tires? I am looking for better traction rather than a tire that will last a long time!

Some are running the 345x35x19 rears. But if you want the best traction and short life the Hoosiers are the way to go.

Bridgestone potenza scuderia is best for stock wheels. Please see white NO stripe twin turbo on my site. It has the tires I am talking about on it

This might give you a couple of ideas:

Just replaced my tires 250 miles ago and very happy with the Bridgestones. Very noticable change in ride and handling.

Here is what they look like on stock rims.

Wouldn't that be funny... More GTs on the road with Potenza tires than Enzos.

Pilot Sport Cup rears with PS2 fronts.......... FTW

super sticky

Hey GTViperman!

Contact JonB at PartsRack, (www.partsrack.com for my GT brothers). Sure, he's best know for Vipers, but he'll get you tires for your GT for less than TireRack. My new Bridgestones just arrived.

Hi Joe, let me know how you like the new Bridgestones after you put some miles on them. I know and have dealt with Jon in the past. He is a pretty good guy to deal with.
Thanks, Alan
