275/40r17 tw200?

[bryant]

does any body make a 275/40r17 with a 200 tread wear rating?

I think the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 has a 220 rating in that size.

I'm not aware of any that hit 200 on the nose...

I cant remember what size front you are running but you should have much if any trouble going with the 245/45 or 255/40 falkens. I remember you guys modding the fender already for whatever size you have.

its a 255/40r17. plenty of tires in that size. the front end seemed well planted the whole time. so ill start with rear tires first then save some pennys to get the fronts.

Bryant, the new Hankook R-S3 are actually newer/better/stickier 200 treadwear tires, but the biggest they make are 255/40/17. I wouldn't be surprised, based on our results at Qualcomm, if the 255 Hankook isn't faster than the 275 Falken. Plus they are cheaper. Come and join us Nov 30th, you will see both these tires on CAM cars, and talk to the guys that have run both!
