Different 20" tire sizes

[Red Snake]

The Nitto Invo comes in 345/25/20 and the Michelin PS2 comes in 335/30/20.

Will one size be bigger/taller than the other? Will one of these rub under a lowered Gen II?

Thanks!

335/30/20 is taller by a bit, and will be more likely to rub. Some Gen-2's can get away with it, some cant. Gen-3's work very well with the 335/30/20

So far, I have been OK with my PS2's. My guess is due to the ACR rear springs/shocks.

As far as tires go, I freakin LOVE my PS2's.

Thats what I was afraid of. My car is lowered with springs and caps and I wanted to go with PS2s.

Yeah, I just lightly touch with stock height on HUGE bumps. 99 % I seem to be OK. I would say thats a no for you.

You will rub with PS2's. I do and my car is not lowered.

335/30-20 = 27.9"
345/25-20 = 26.7"

but, from a performance stand point the Nitto Invo doesn't even qualify to be in the same conversation as the PS2

Yes if your car is lowered go with the 345/25/20's. That's what I did on my lowered GTS.

Thanks for the input Luke. I really want to go PS2 but not if I'll get bad tire rub.

What about Pirelli?

 

[Mopar Boy]

I am SOOOO happy I got rid of mine (pirelli). They were a crappy handling tire on my car. I gained SOOOO much performance on the PS2.

Granted, it did have alot more clearance so you would not scrape! But they were ugly too.

much better than the Nitto Invo but, not as good as the PS2

You could also consider going with the PS2's in the 325/25/20 size. They are the same diameter as stock and pretty hard to see any difference in the width from the stock 335 size.

 

[Luke@tirerack]

325/25-20 Rim Width Range...... 11.50 to 12.50

Are you running those? If so, what size are your rear rims? Are they 20X13?

 

[Mopar Boy]

Luke, was that size not a runflat used on the vettes

Nope. Runflats come in the correct size: 335/25/20. I can run them because I don't have TPMS to tell me when they are out of air (flat).

Good point, I'm running a 12.5" rim on the back. 11" on the front. Sent you a PM with more info.
