OKAY..So i bought the tires that are on the car about a month ago. Didn't like how skinny they looked. The rim actually sticks out a little. So I picked these up yesterday. I have 18 by 9.5 rims. The tires not on the car are 275/35/18's. Can anyone guess what size the tires are that are on the car? Winner will get a free insurance quote..lol. I work at State Farm.

I'm with Lou on this one. Didn't NateSVT post pics of Sumitomo and Eagle F1 tires side by side, and they were both 315's? There was a good inch, inch and a half difference between both tiresOriginally Posted by Sonic03snake

The tires not on the car look like Goodyear F1 Supercar tires.

Yup u1arunit, those are Goodyear F1 Supercars off a Z06. I sold them to Joe.
I think I did but I can't find that pic. It was Sumitomos in 315/35/17 and BFG KDs in the same size. The BFGs were at least an inch wider.
My guess for the tires on Joe's Cobra is 245/40/18.

Nate took my guess. 245/40/18
Well guys, good guesses. Sonic03snake and Mitternacht are right though. The tires on the car are Nankangs and are 275/35/18's as well. When I put them on the car I was ticked because how skinny they looked. My 265's on the front are actually a tad wider than the Nankangs. Nankangs are cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for. Yea, I picked up the Goodyear f1's from Nate on Sunday and decided I would take a pic. Couldn't believe it. Didn't know the brand would acutally change the size that much. I guess i would have to buy a 315 in Nankang in order for it to look like a 275.
You run into that with some Nittos as well. It does not help that most Goodyear tires run wide either.
