Arrow What Tires to get NEXT?

I currently have volk gt-30s in 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +32/+33

I am also running Nitto Invos which are great but have worn out real fast. The rears are what I am wanting to replace. The current size I have is 275/35/19. I am lower on eibach pro-kit and I drive an 08 G37S coupe

What tires do you guy recommend and do you think I can go up to a 285/35 tire on my current setup? thank you!!!

I've heard good things about Conti ExtremeContact DW.

Depending on how low you are with those offsets, be aware of the sidewalls of the tires as well. Hankooks are a little more "meaty", which is why i still run T1R's. Allows me to run extremely low with still no modification to my fenders/liners or bumper brackets.

X 1 !!

I've had my Yoko's for almost years now and I highly recommend them.

Don't have first hand experience with Hankooks but heard a lot of praises for them.

Both are very well priced and have a wide range of sizes available.

I got maybe 2-3k out of them. The super soft compound provided good grip, but horrible wear. I have no camber kit, but I am within factory alignment specs in the rear in camber and toe even with the drop

Anybody have anything to say about these: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

I like the tread pattern on them and seem to be reasonable

I can vouch for the Yokohama S.Drives
Very good in both the performance aspect and durability!

WOW only 2-3K. I think you go to a lot of drag racing.

Invos have treadwear of 220(Y) & 260(W).

Nitto NT05 about 200

I has my NT05 for 7000 miles had enough tread left and sold to fellow G owner. If you got only 2-3K out of Invo. Definitely you need camper kits.

During 7000 miles I went to three road racing track events. At least 15 canyon driving.
