New Shoes

[jexsk]

Finally got me another set so I’ll have summer and winter. Went with SVE SP2 wrapped in Continental Extreme Sport 02 in 275/30/19 front and 305/30/19 rear

Awesome set of wheels and tires!

Why so small on the front? Should have went at least 275/35

I feel like 275/35 front with 305/30 rear would give a weird stance

You should have run 35 aspect front and rear. What you are running now is now over 1" shorter than OEM. It looks like your car is a Performance Pack car with 255/40/19 and 275/40/19, the respective diameter for the OEM was 27.2" front and 27.7" rear. You are now at 25.5" front and 26.2". Continental does make a 275/35/19 and a 305/35/19 and this should have been the correct choice. A 35 series tire is only .3" shorter than OEM, within the tolerance of the ABS and the Stability control.

Here is my old Mustang with the 285/35/19 and a 305/35/19 looks like.

Here is the difference in speedo reading.

You will get a little more torque multiplication though...

Would have went taller in the back too. 27.0" at least

35 wasn’t available with what I was originally looking at , Michelin PS4S but then I audibled and went with Contis and kept the size.

There's more NVH with the 30 compared to the 40 but the car feels a lot more athletic overall. Handles like it’s on rails which is a result of a combination of better tires and smaller sidewall. Overall I’m thrilled with them and as this isn’t a real daily I’m good with the NVH. If I get tired of it over time the good thing about tires is they aren’t permanent and I can always change next go around

I went with 285/35/19 and 305/35/19 on the same tires you have. Also lowered an inch all around.

Looks sick! I’m really liking these tires so far. I thought about lowering as well but the wife nixed that idea lol

You won’t regret it if you lower it! It will look good and improve handling a bit too

Looks great… do the wheels vibrate at all? I’m considering SVE wheels but concerned about vibrations…

 

[jexsk]

I don’t get any vibration from mine. I’m really happy with the quality of the SVE wheels and they shipped fast from LMR.

 

[Stanzi]

Thanks! Considering the MHP1s! Congrats on the wheels!

 

[jexsk]

Thanks! I was considering the MHP1 when I was shopping. Good looking wheels as well

@jexsk,
Wheels look really nice in black on the Grabber stang. Nice having a second set of wheels.
