[QUOTE="walked_u_hard, post: 12265028, member: 137690"] For those that are wondering about the Mickey Thompson street comp tires, or if you are wondering about 285 35 19 tires fitting you wheels, here you go. The tires look great on the car, and they don't bulge as much as i thought they would. 285/35/19's WILL fit the factory Brembo package premium 19x9 wheels (+42 off set) in the rear AND the front without rubbing (the 285 mickeys are about 11" wide), keep in mind though some manufactures tires run wider or thinner than others. The Mickey Thompson's have a 300 tread rating and the factory Pirelli rubber has a 220 rating. If you're not aware, a tread rating is basically the softness of the rubber compound, the higher the number the longer it will last. Those tread ratings are only accurately comparable within the same manufactures tire lineup though. The Mickeys are a bit softer than the Pirelli's though. And for comparison the Sumitomo HTRZ II tires are noticeably softer than both even though its rated at 360. My manual 11 GT has 3.73's and dynoed 408/392 (SAE), it would spin the 255 Pirelli's to redline in 2nd on most surface's. The 285 Mickey's will spin in 2nd as well, however it's not as bad as the 255 Pirelli's. The mickeys are awesome in the rain, no hydroplaning to speak of. Its sucks to say, but if you looking for a BIG improvement over stock rubber these are not it, then again if you're looking for a big improvement in a straight line you should be looking at drag radials to begin with.
