      Widest PT tire

      About the widest I've seen on a supercar is a P345. Are there wider tires available?

      I've never seen a wider low profile tire than that, but there are plenty of wider 'pro-street' tires, e.g. https://www.hoosiertire.com/strttire.htm

      there was a 375 at SEMA...good meats but it wouldn't leave much room back there. But that was last October and im sure someone out there has wider.

      Looks like a bad case of understeer to me...

      Thanks for the pic. It says Kumho on the side wall. It's not on their website so maybe it's not available.

      Do you think it would be impossible to balance the suspension via the normal methods (shocks, sway bars, springs)? I'm looking at P295's for the front. Thanks for the help.

      I saw those at SEMA as well and they are just absolutely ridiculously wide. I haven't heard of anything wider yet but I wouldn't doubt it if was out there.

      Too much tire on the back is like having too much spring.

      Maybe, but how well are those of you with 700+ hp hooking up with P335's?
