Well I guess we will see. I just put my order in with Tirerack. $578 for (2) 305/35R/20 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's.
Tires are on backorder until Saturday and will arrive next Tuesday the 29th, which is fine. The wheels are supposed to arrive this Thursday. I already got my new TPMS sensors for all four wheels. I bought the ones from that TPMS thread that was going around the other day. Non OEM, 315MHz - ROADFAR. Apparently people are having better luck getting them to stay synced than with the GM ones. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks again everybody! When I do eventually replace the fronts, what would be the correct matching front size to go with when running the 305/35's in the rear?

I run 275 with 305. Has some understeer and will plow if you have too much speed into corners. But you wont see that with street driving speeds. Other than that I love the setup.

The 305 works better with a 285. But only on a track.

I got my set of M017 this weekend.
I went with Nitto 555G2 in a 305 and put the stock 275 up front for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I need to ask, are the center caps for these 5th gen size or 6th gen? I like the style you got.

I think i am in the minority, but i think 275 on a 10 inch rim looks stretched. i switched to a 295 and think it looks much better!

So I got an email back from Tire Rack that my order was backordered, which really sucks....it was supposed to be delivered tomorrow, but now they won't have the Indy 500's until at least July 10th, with earliest delivery on the 13th. The rep told me that is also just an estimate. He said they are having a hard time getting certain tires, especially if they are made overseas.
So I ordered (2) Continental ExtremeContact Sport (Summer tire version), but this time I went with the 315/35/20's instead of the 305s, since the price difference was like $4. They have them in stock and will be here by Wednesday. They seem to have good reviews, so hopefully I like them. Now I need to get 2 new tires for the front to match, but it will probably be a week or 2 since they are out of them in 275/40's....uhhg. I didn't realize we were also in a tire shortage! I use Tire Rack all the time and have never seen it how it is now. So hard to find anything decent in stock on their site. Maybe it's just them, idk.

Those are good tires I think you will like them. I had them on my srt8 and they seemed to hook up pretty good on the street.

I just purchased Falken Azenas FK510 in 315/35/20 for $314 apiece. They were a compromise b/w the Nitto 555G2 ($280) and the Continental ExtremeContacts ($380). The Falkens get pretty good ratings so we'll see. I'd rather have the Contis, but didn't want to pay an extra $150 for a pair when I don't really need the extra grip (not racing).

I have 275 fronts and 315 rears - personally not a fan of the way it handles. Kinda sloppy. My next tires will be 305 rears or go 285 squared.
