So i had ordered a new set of summer shoes because they were 2 month until they would show up but they showed up today
Bridgestone Potenza re760 sport
I have had nothing but good luck and traction with these tires so i decided to go wider then previously. I went with 255/35R18, I will post pictures up this evening.

 

whats your rim offset and size? and suspension set up?

 

Pics or it didn't happen and you are going to be running the tires off a scion xa....

Seriously though I love bridgestones. I am going with BFG GeForce drag radials for mine. Melissa isn't going to be the daily driver much longer.

 

Yeah, been loving my RE960 Pole Positions too. They seem to do everything well.

 

I am guessing you are not stock to be able to fit 255's???

 

What inflation pressure will u be running?

What wheel size?

I run this size on 18x9.5 on my evo. Just killed some RE01R's, will be putting RE11s on this summer. The RE760s are a good value. A lot of my friends run them and I've never heard a complaint.

Im running stock TC rims with BC coilovers and a 5mm spacer and they fit just fine. I did much research also im a gm mechanic so im aware of a few things.
Im going to be running 28PSI as that is what i have always run. Also my fenders are all rolled

 

Congrats! I can't wait to order my new summer tires as well.

 

got my RE-11s for 300 perks of working at firestone they didnt last barely a year though. Although they bite awesome

 

I had kuhmo escas and i got 3 month out of them. 180 tread wear

 

I'm going to wait for the new Cooper RS-3S comming out in April.

I just bought some new tires too! Though they are certainly not for a Cobalt! lol
These aren't mine, but they are the same ones.

 

those NT05s are huge.....

 

nice rubber

 

Corvette?

 

Really? wow!

My 1st set lasted 2 summers.
About 160 0:50 AutoX runs
About 200 1:20 Nelson's ledges laps

 

Your going to run a 255/35/18 on the stock wheels!!! That's a 10" wide tire on a 7.5" wheel

I hope your doing this solely for looks and that you don't ever plan on agresivley driving your car around turns i.e. canyon passes, auto-x, track.... You know there is a reason a 9-10" rim is recommended for 255 tires right?

I have 18x8's and the widest I would ever go is a 235

 

want to see pics of those rolled fenders!!

 

Stock TC wheel of 7 1/2" width is NOT a good thing with this size. I don't care if you're a mechanic or what ever. That tire is will be PINCHED and you're gonna give back any and all benefits you might gain with this tire and size. Good luck...you'll need it.
Tire rack spec show a MINIMUM wheel width of 8 1/2" for this tire and size:

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

 

haha yup me 2 just went to talk to a good tire place in town that does time attack and **** with his own car but im on pedders so i probably could go bigger but ehh **** it lol

 

And this shop recommended a 235/40/18 on an 18x8?

It's a great combo for our car, a slightly wider footprint helps.

 

The info is a little dated but it still holds true.

 

I dont auto cross or live near canyons. i live in flat lands. My car is in a straight line when its aggressively drivin. I have ran 245 on stock wheels heavey into corners and hadn't had an issue. I am aware whats recommended rim size for 255's

Tom G. where in alberta do you live?

 

OK...terrible choice though. Car won't handle well at all...side wall flex. I guess you must want em for looks only, because they will perform badly. Also, they will heat up quicker. One last comment...don't do any high speed ****...could be a recepie for disaster.
Enjoy.

 

yup gonna call me tomorow with some tires options im interested in what he has to offer or recomend
