What 21" tires are you using?

Barbja · 04-19-2011, 08:09 AM

You guys running 21" wheels, what tires are you using? I'm considering 375s, but the in the recommended tire size,(285/35 R21, 10JX21. Rear, 325/30 R21, 11.5JX21) tirerack is only showing a Dunlop sport maxx for >$600 per and discounttire has nothing (I haven't perused other sites yet).

So, I just want to find out what others are doing. And how has your treadlife been?

Thanks!

I don't think you have much choice for 21". Dunlop is the only option

No idea on tread life as mine are just getting fitted as I type, ended up with 325/30x21 dunlop sport max and a yokohama 295/35x21 front as I couldnt find any 285/35x21 dunlops and prices on the 295/35 dunlops were silly, didnt know you could get wider than 325/30 (maybe a europe/uk thing) . The yokos felt slightly softer under the "scientific" thumbnail test but had an equally low unworn tread depth as the sportmax ... Sitting here waiting for my tyre fitter to call to say they're ready.....

Treads just fitted and pics posted in my 1st thread. I would say that wider than a 325 rear will likely need more offset than the oem rims as the inner arch is quite close on full droop., any extra tyre width will need to be subtracted from the offset to keep the same inner arch clearance.

I got right at 20k front and rear from my Dunlops.
