Default Re: Best tire set up?
I should have done more research on this forum. I went with the 275/30/19 rather than 35 series because I found a pair that was on special because they stopped making them and I desperately needed to replace the dried and worn stock Conti's. They did survive for 40,000 miles and are now at about 4/32nds which was actually impressive.

I know that the S-03's have a stiffer sidewall and are a summer tire (I live in AZ so that works), but with a wear rating of 220 I will be lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them. Either way it was a definite upgrade from stock but I still need to find another place to mount them. The Big-O tire shop that I took these to said that there is a special machine that makes mounting these low profile tires much easier, but they did not know of a place in Phoenix that had one.

I will be on the phone tomorrow trying to find it.

 Also where is the speedometer cable connected? Rear of Front tires? I think that the 275/30/19’s will probably throw off the speedo by about 2 mph at 60 (it will read faster), but maybe that will save me in getting a photo radar ticket someday.
