Friend of mine would like to use semi slciks on the track, but seems like 255/35-19 is not available. Michelin and Pirelli are both offering 265/30-19, but is there enough space to fit those ?

Thanks

I have 275/30/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R on the stock wheels and they work just great.

Anyone tried the 275/30 19's on an Avant?

Do they rub on the rear arches when fully loaded (e.g. full of wine on the way back from a "booze cruise" to Calais)?

Nope we don't get any of those things over on this side of the pond.

Hmmm, not too sure how they would feel on the road though, would they not make tram linning more apparent??

It drives just as well as it did before and the extra grip from the 275/30/19 Potenza RE-01R is just amazing. They have a treadwear of 140 and the tread pattern is so much more aggressive. It got rid of any nervousness the car had with the less than stellar Continental Sportcontact 3.

I am using on my Avant 255/35/ 19 Corsas with the std. wheels , but even the touch on the car on 2 or 3 corner on the Nring .
