21" Tire recommendations

Hi everyone,

Anyone recommend tires for 21" rims? Thinking of going Michelin PSS 305/25/21 + 265/30/21, but considering other options, as 305/25/21 is sounding super thin. Looked into Pirelli P Zero Nero GT, and similar pricing, but 305/30/21 + 265/25/21 are available....Any recommendations would be appreciated

305/30/21 and 265/35/21 would be too tall. I’d stick to 25 series rear and 30 series front.

I heard the pilot super sports are out of production and Michelin will not make any 305/25/21 and 265/30/21 tires anymore. They are supposedly going to come out with the new 4s tires in the summer.

Just put 305/25/21 and 265/30/21 yesterday Michelin PSS

So far only about 10% harsher ride, will be installing KW HAS over the wknd which should firm things up a bit more

Vulcan Tire

The correct sizes are:

265/30/21
305/25/21

I don't recall what I paid but right now the rears are $270.00 and the fronts are $230.00.

I'm on the same boat. I've been running 21" since day one but my daughters moved to a new school and there's heavy construction in the area. Bent 2 rims in the last 3 months. Are there adverse affects in going one size taller? I'm still on stock height. Many thanks.

I just got the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for my wheels today
Fronts: 255/30/21 tires for: 21x9.5 wheel
Rears: 305/25/21 tires for: 21x11 wheel
- I was able to get the fronts earlier in April as they were readily available, however the rears just came out about a week ago, and super limited. I had to work an industry connect to get the last 2 in their Nevada Distribution center, and tire rack said less than 5 available (for a brand new tire!)

Do you guys recommend me to get the KW HAS kit, and install the same time as the new wheels? I'm looking for best ride quality and chasing that perfect stance! (ooo wee)
- Would rather do it all at once, and need to order the kit asap if that's the way to go.

Wheels from 6sxity in the UK - can't wait to get them on.

Any advice?

I installed KW HAS at the same time I upgraded to 21" wheels. This route will address both ride quality and stance and allow you dial both in.
