IamKevin2 · 12-08-2021, 11:13 PM

yo, I am new here and new to cars in general so my knowledge is little. I’ve been doing some research to find tires to go with the rays 57cr. Idk what’s good and what’s not. So I am looking for a some daily driving tires, and am in need of a recommendation. Budget is okay, but I don’t want to go over $800. some tires I’ve been told is landsail, fire hawk, BF Goodrich comp 2, and I found some toyo proxey. Are these options nice? What other options can I look at

What size wheels?
Go to www.tirerack.com to see how different tires compare. Best tire depends on your wants/needs/usage envelope. Dry grip, wet grip, cold/snow grip, desired life, feel/handling, noise, comfort, etc.
Based on yer location and "daily driving", look in the "Ultra High Performance" or "Max Performance" categories. Maybe "Ultra High Performance All Season" if you even *might* drive somewhere cold/snowy.

I wouldn't bother with "Landsail"! Stick with known good major brands.

Indy 500s are a good budget summer tire. They don't have the best all around performance like the top tier UHP tires. PS4s, ECS.
Road noise and wear will vary too.
I got some dirt cheap yoko advan sport V105. Not sure if I trashed them due to toe out but road noise is loud. Much louder than PS4S I ran previously.

Need wheel width for tires. Assuming they're 17x9 a 245/40R17 is go to size and fits nicely.

You might want to reconsider that size/offset! Unless you have cutout arches and flares, you're going to poke and rub like crazy... Do they come in +35 offset? That should work with 245/35-18s, if you have some negative camber... Is car lowered and if so how much?

Why? Typical wheel size is 17X9 +38 in the 57CR for this platform. It will get you closeish to flush front and rear, and gives enough strut clearance. It also gives you a lot of reasonable priced tires in 245/40/17.

Firehawk Indy in 245/40/17 is 160 on TR. 245/35/18 is 200 for the same tire.

Idk tbh, that was the size I was gonna go with some Kansei KNPs but I decided to get rays instead , and thought going with the same size would be nice

For sure you want +38, unless you have cut fenders/widebody/etc.
Also if dragstrip performance is a priority you might think about smaller diameter wheels so you can run taller sidewall tires.
