305/30/19 not a good idea for a 996TT?
I need some new tires for my car the rears are pretty worn out I just saw the inner tread its pretty worn out on the inside and the tire guys are pretty insistent I get them replaced asap.
I looked for PS2s but apparently they had a production issue where the tire was coming apart. My choice are some crappy Yoko tires or the Bridgestone RE050As I'm heavily leaning towards the RE050As since they are pretty much on par with the PS2s.
That being said the only size they have are 305/30/19s vs the 315/25/19s I have on right now it should be about 5% outta spec is that a major issue?
My other alternative is to wait till Michelin get the production issues sorted out and wait 3 months till I get they tires in.
On a wierd side note the 305 Bridgestone RE050As compared side by side with my 315 Continentals are actually significantly wider than the Contis any idea why manufacturers are so far out of spec?
