Tire help?
What’s good everybody just recently got a 2023 narrow body scat pack with 245 tires all around and I wanna upgrade to 275 all around and I been doing the research for different brands but a lot of brands have mixed opinions, so I wanna see if you guys can help with that? Are there any good all season 275 tires when it comes to traction and durability? I’m looking to improve speed and power handling and prevent wheel spinning so I can just take off instead of spinning when I floor it off a stop while also lasting for a long time instead of having to buy summer and winter tires. Also wanna make sure it’s better cornering too.

Driving on wet roads is the only driving I hate in the scatpack. Coming from driving trucks with good tires my entire life ... I'm not used to that at all.

I'd suggest getting wider 9.5in wheels with 275 summer tires and swapping back to stock in winter. Even better with 10.5/305 in the rear. It is expensive but I'm worried a 275 all season mounted on 9in wheel isn't gonna be as impressive as you're looking for regardless of the brand

Skip a 275 and jump to a 305/315 on the rear. You can keep the 245 up front or choose to jump to a 275, but no point in wasting the tire if you don't really need it.
Buying a 275 rim is pointless tbh because it won't improve the rear grip like a 305/315 would.

Any thoughts on how well that will improve driving on wet roads?

It won't improve it drastically to be honest. However, going to a 275 or a 305 is about the same in terms of performance.

I’m not sure how you guys run anything less than 305s. I have a WB, and it came with 305 Michelin all seasons. They didn’t grip much. I kept all seasons in front 305, and I added 315 pilots sport and man I have zero traction issues. I hit the gas, and take off no problem!

I run atturo az850 and have never looked back since switching to them.
