Default Tyres

I have a 2003 Crossfire, which had Michelin tyres, which weren't good in the snow, I then went for Falken 452 19/35/275 in the rear, which were good. So now I have just bought Accelera tyres 275 at the back. I don't if it's me, but the car does not feel right and it doesn't feel I have much grip. The tyre is ugly to look at too as it has so much rubber on the outerwalls. I'm thinking of going for pirelli p zero. I live in the UK so I need a all year tyre, also has anyone fitted 19/30/275 at the rear and a 18/35/225 at the front. I saw a brand new merc with them on.

Seems to me that the folks in Porsche Land go with the Pirelli's or Michelin Sports.

These are pictures of my new tyres. Accelera 275/35/19 and 225/40/18. The tyres are not good, slips and rolls, is it me or do the tyres look really thick around the edges, gives a real ugly look. I was thinking of going for 295/19/30 in a different brand but what would I put on front 225/35/18?. Plz help winter is coming need a good tyre and also which does not make the Crossfire look ugly like these. Had Michelin, than F452, didn't notice any thick rubber than.

I'm new too tyres and was told 275 are the widest we can go.

Hi Val, what is ur rear wheel rim size?? Also can some you guys post some images of the rear wheel ''side'' view. As you can see from the images on top, mine look really thick around the edges, I'm looking for images of 275/35/19 which I have now.
