Which tires

iamvietness · 03-29-2016, 05:03 PM

Which tire combo would you guys recommend for a set of Vorsteiner VFF 103? Fronts are 21x9.5 and rears are 21x11. Would you guys go with 305/25/21 and 265/30/21 or something else?

You will be good with 305/25/21 and 265/30/21

21X9.5 28 FRONT AND 21X11 30 REAR

305/25 and 265/30 sounds good to me.

Those sizes might be hard to find in MPSS though...

So basically your front and rear wheels stand out 4 mm farther (compare to the OEM wheels) which is no big deal.
I believe 275/ 30/21 , 305/25/21 would be the best match if you can find them... although 305 gives you more traction, but 265 front and 305 rear (my previous setup) are not so good and will change the dynamic of car to more understeer

Great thanks for the info

Just out of curiosity but are there any issues running 2 different types of tires? Looks like I can get the 275 in PZeroes

Mr_M5Guy · 04-02-2016, 06:37 PM

I'm MPSS 305/25/21 and PZero 275/30/21. So far I like the setup, seems to have good turn in and corning. However, I did need to trim the fender liner for the 275 not too rub.

Damn how bad does it rub?

It's was enough for me to trim the liners. I would say 3/4 turn it would rub. I am also lowered on h&r springs.

Pzero has softer compound than MPSS and they have different structure... maybe in rainy days or slippery condition you feel the difference
