Default My goodyear eagle F1 run flats Suck! Need a stickier tire!

I have OEM C6 wheels which are 19's in the back and I can't grab traction with my eagle F1's. I am having trouble finding a good sticky tire for 19's! What to get? any opinions? Also I am going to 4:10's after tires.

See if Nitto is making their new DR in your sizes. They just started making them for our ZO6 sizes... I think they are NT-05r's...

Yea those DR's look sick. I think that's what i'm going to buy. They run 275x35x19 so I am going to have to run 10mm thinner but that shouldn't be a big deal!

4:10's definatly won't help your traction on 19's so make sure you get some real sticky tires

oh I know, eventually i'll get another set of smaller wheels for the track when I have the money, but for now the C6 wheels look great and help out alot at the shows!

+1, going to be real hard to get traction with 4.10s, 19s, and runflat street tires. Any street tire is going to spin. Would need some drag radials like a NT-05R which lasts around 7500 miles and maybe get matching c6 18" rims for the rear also.

yeah, 19's suck when it comes to tire selection, but run-flats are GARBAGE in the traction department. Like stated above, the new nitto's are really good tires
