Tire help.. urgent. Im buying new wheels and im wondering if these tires are good or not?
 
Im buying 19" the Monet Impresionals wheels.. and the tires that im getting suited up for are are 235/35R19 front and 265/30R19 rear. Hankook Ventus K104's.


Are these tires good, avagage or bad?

I live in New Jersey and it rains and snows a lot in the winter so i would think an all season low profile tire would be good.. but i dont know. Thanks for any imput.

No. That is a cheap tire,
like beefski said the Falken's are not bad.

the K104's are scary in the rain -- I had them in 215/35/18 on my old gti.... I'd NOT want to see them in snow.

And you're running a true staggered setup... you're quattro? And have an A4? Will 265's fit, do you think!?

If you use the Kuhmo SPT or something like that, 235/35/19 fronts are 25.5" diameter, rears running 265/30/19 is 25.3" diameter... so you're only off 2 tenths... which is fine, I bet...

So that is sort of cool that the diameter is so close, as long as you're within a few 16ths, then youre fine likely (just be like differently worn tires)

However, this doesnt solve the issue of fitting a 9" wide rear tire on an audi... my 235's are effin tight.

not to mention that if/when it comes to tire rotation, if you have unidirectional tires, now you have the annoyance of swapping tires and wheels.

I have quattro..

I do need a good tire.. thanks for the help.. how are these tires here: Toyo Proxes 4.

I could get those as well for the same price as the K104's

The proxes 4 is better than the K104.

But yeah... will they fit on the back end of your car? That's uber wide. Next week you'll start a thread pertaining to your destroyed tires/fenders.
