Dark Horse HP Tires

I run 305/30/19 315/30/19 PS4s on my handling pack and don't notice any poke from the tires. I think they look great.

If you have base DH wheels, you can go 275/40-19 front and 305-35-19 rear as an option. I moved stock 275 rear Pirelli tires to front and purchased 305/35 Pirelli (Lamborghini) for rear. When these wear out will go Michellins for more tire choices.

Did get new wheels for the rear? Or kept the originals wheels in the rear? I dont think 305s fit on a 10inch width wheel

Stock wheels all around. And Pirelli Pzero 305/35-19 fit rear non HP 10 in rims. 305/30, more common, not recommended for 10 inch rims.

I have 305/30/19 and 325/30/19 PS4Ss on my car and wouldn't say they're way outside the fenders... but they do poke out slightly. I did 9 hard runs at my last autocross event on the setup and had no rubbing issues.

OK, but in fairness you installed a 325 on the rear when the Trofeo RS is only 315 on the rear. Are these Michelins PS4S tires on the stock handling package wheels? Why did you go with 325 instead of 315 (no need to justify yourself - I am just curious).

Thanks! I drive mine to the grocery store, so I don't anticipate any issues, but thanks for the confirmation!

Well, did you do it? How did it go?

Thanks! I came to this thread looking to see if anybody had done this exact thing, and, if so, whether the tires fit and worked well. I imagine getting caught in a rainstorm is a different experience now?

I went with 325, no issues.

Since my last update in like March of this year I have gotten a set of DHP1 rims with 305/30 and 315/30 PS4S tires. I got caught in a terrible downpour a couple of weeks ago when going to a body shop. I mean the highway was flooded out.

I didn't even sweat it; I slowed down because I couldn't see but the car handled like a champ!!!

Good to know!
I put the Pilot Sport 4s' on my DHHP too (305/315), but haven't got caught in the rain yet.

did you ever drive on the trofeo rs tires since supercharged?
i have they are bad if cold if they are up to temp they are good
how do they compare to the 4s
when i replace idk what to do get 4s or rs again or something else
if pilot sport s5 was out in our size i would try that but its not

Negative.

My order of operations went sorta like this....

- Picked up car and drove 500km
- Went to Steeda.ca and had them put Nitto 555 G2 on my Velgen VF10s (20" rims)
- Drove those for 1000km

- Got supercharged and within 500km

- Ordered SVE DHP1 with PS4S tires
- Driving on those for now

Will be getting another set of Velgen VF10 over the winter but this time the rubber in the back is going to be more suited to a 700rwhp car.

My Musical Wheel Setup was in part due to me not understanding what was happening whenever I was popping pins on the wheel lip moldings as well as the front tire size on my 20" VF10s.

What do you mean about the heat? Meaning you do not have to wait for the second lap on the track? Or are you talking about on the street?

That is good to hear. I try not to drive it if I see rain forecast.

Same story? No issues with fit or driving?

Do you have the HP? If not, any noticeable wheel gap going to 305/315?

Nope. None.

Well, I shouldn't say that. As far as driving goes, the car is easier to drive in daily driver scenarios. Doesn't hunt as nearly as much.

I have the HP but I am also lowered on Steeda Sport Progressives. Here is a pic the day I swapped out the wheels. It may have settled a bit more since.
