Guest imranmalikuk Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I have just bought a '99 TT manual and it came with 225mm width rear wheel tyres. This obviously gives me no grip on the back. I have got the standard 17"" alloys with front and back being 8"" and 9 1/2 inch respectively. (The front has the correct size of 235mm.) What do you guys reckon are the best width tyres I can squeeze on. Please remember I am new to the supra world and dont understand the jargon yet (eg N/A ??) At the moment from start up my sis beats me in her MR2 Turbo from start up when doing our 0-60. This better change when I get the right tyres put on.

Scooter Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I think 275 is approx the maximum for the stock 91/2 rears, but stock car should be ok with the standard 255's, especially if you get good tyres, eg Goodyear F1's BTW N/A = normally aspirated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imranmalikuk Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Cheers scooter! Does anyone know of other modifications I could have done to increase the rear grip of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 RLTC won't provide more grip BTW.... only tyres and weight can do that and playing around with tyre pressures. 275 width max on 9 1/2 rims as mentioned by scooter. If you're doing 0-60 stuff then go for low tyre pressures on a grippy compound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
