New tyres
Car has cups on it at the moment, had them on it when I bought it. Was going to be changing them shortly for conventional road tyres, at the risk of sounding like a dafty what size is it best to go for 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 or are these more for cup tyres?
Would also appreciate any thoughts on tyre choice, was thinking Goodyear Eagle F1's or Contisport 5's. Got conti 3's on my M roadster which I quite like. Thanks for any advice |

Those are the right sizes. Michelin Pilot SuperSport are the next best thing to cups in many people's opinion...

Yep thats what I run, did away with Goodyears and PS2's in favour of a set of Supersports.

yes, MPSS. My GT-R wears them and its pushing around 600. Great tire. Most of the GT-R guys choice for road/track. Even Litchfield's recent GT-R in //Drive (Harris) with 750bhp was wearing these babies. No doubt they can handle some serious power. Not on my CSL yet as I've still got fresh AD08's which I'm not very impressed with. Think I will need to ditch these things asap.
