Default What the widest tire we can go with for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric's...

I was planning on going with the GS-D3's having loved them on my B6 S4. However, recently someone posted about the Asymmetric's and I started reading reviews on them and they seem like the way to go.

These will be for my O.Z. SL III's which are the same size as stock 19x9 and I'm on Audi's Sport Suspension Plus which as you can see from the pics below doesn't really leave any gap in the rear.

TIA

I have seen on RS246.com people running F1 asymetrics 275/30/19. I would not go any bigger. I am going to be running this size on my m40 monoblocks.

What is the Audi's Sport Suspension Plus? Are they just lowering springs?

Default It's lowering springs and different shocks, but it's still DRC...

If I had to do it again I would go with the STaSIS SL's just so I wouldn't have to think about the DRC.

Anyone tried 265 width if available in any brand? Just to avoid rubbin

Default I'm using Falken FK452 275/30/19 with 10mm spacers..

I had PS2's, switched to Falkens. The ride is quiet, great wet weather and good dry traction, but not as good as say a RE01R.

I have been getting about 18,000 miles on the tires, and just put a new front pair on today.

Thus far, the PS2's seemed to be a better on the track, but 98% of my driving is highway driving.

I used to do seminars for Goodyear, and that tire has a good reputation, but you might also look at the Eagle F1GSD3.

However, you're running a 9 inch wheel, not a 9.5 inch anymore, so a 265 might be the widest you can go. All of this depends upon the offset of that wheel which will mean experimentation

I have 275/30/19 F1 AS and no spacer on stock rims. No problem whatsoever.

What makes up the SSP? Does it still use DRC?
