    Tire & wheel combo?


    What is the best tire & wheel combo for an M roadster?
    Would like more rubber on road.
    Best tire for brisk road driving?
    Best place to purchase?

    Look at the SSR Comp in 17X8.5 15 lbs. and 17X9.5 16.5 lbs.
    You can then go with the 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear.
    The S03, Kumho MX and Pilot Sport are all good options.
    Let me know if I can help.
    Thank you

    I will take the opportunity to ask if you have some weight data on the tires and sizes you mentioned above (S03, Kuhmo MX, Pilot Sport)? I heard that the S03s are the heaviest of these. Also how would you compare the Kuhmos with the other 2 in the rain? What about handling characteristics (steering response)?

    Thanks a lot,
