Hey guys, was thinking about getting the following set for the front and rear of my AP1, was wondering what the best combination of tire sizes on a stock suspension would be for a weekend spirited driver? I don't auto x or track the car, just occasional spirited driving on backroads and what not. Was going to run a staggered setup, not square. Thanks!
These are pretty conservative specs. I assume you're stock fender? I imagine the usual 225/255 would work fine. Front might be a slight stretch but I think that would be best for fender clearance reasons. You probably could run up to 235 in the front however total diameters don't match well to the back. 235/40/17 run short and 235/45/17 will be a little taller. I suppose it won't matter too much being on the front. Make sure to dial in moderate camber just to be safe. I would recommend a summer tire if you're intending for spirited driving, all seasons kill the car's handling. Just because it's not a track car doesn't mean you can't optimize it within reason.
