So I got a good 2 years out of my 275 wide Vredestein's in the rear. I'm thinking about going 295 for my next set as my summer set are staggered with 20X10 in the rear. The Vreds gave me very nice traction around corners and are just as good as Michelin Super Sports. There's the Ultrac Vorti R now (I had the Ultrac Vorti) so I'm tempted to just get some of those.
What are other options? Yes, I could fit a street/drag radial or something and have traction with the blower, but I do a lot of highway driving so I need something with some durability. I hear people talk of Nittos but I'm not sure what versions would be best.
Oh, forgot to mention the Breyton GTF2 wheels on Christine have a +45 offset.

I'm a don't change it if it's working kind of guy, but I'm also cheap so when I replace my tires, I'll be researching economically priced tires that are also decent.

The Vorti R's come in a 295/25/R20 so I'm kinda wondering if that's enough sidewall. Currently the 275s I have are 275/30/R20 so it's a little different based on the information here

compared to stock 19s

Just me, but I don't think I'd want to lose that much sidewall. It's Michigan, remember?

My summer rears are BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 in a 295/35-19. Love them. Great dry and wet traction. They hook well at my bolt-on power levels. And they look mean.

I do like the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 look, but I don't see them in the size I'd need. There's a 395/40/R20 but that's to much sidewall for me.
The Bridgestone RE 11 Potenzas don't come in the size I need either.
GXP-G8, what model Toyo are you running?

Great, I'm I'm trying to do the math on getting a 305 to fit. LOL.
Edit: N/M, 10" wide wheel isn't big enough for a 305 from what I've read.
