Replacement tyres

[Why?]

I was looking at replacing the rubber on my Redline rims or getting another set of rims and putting these on them.

Yokohama Tyres | Car Tyres from Yokohama: ADVAN Neova AD08 Tyre Prices, Sizes & Reviews

Have tried looking into most quality manufacturers but not many have a Motorsport tyre in 275 35 19, wondering if anyone had tried them and what they thought?

I have friends who have run Neova before and they were very good. Don't expect a compound that soft to last for a long time though, they really are more of a track tyre. They are damn expensive too.

If you're not doing a lot of track work (or even if you are) but still want semis, look at the Achilles 123S or Federal RSR. I've had a lot of drivers I know tell me they were really good value.

If you want a well priced good regular road tyre I've also heard great things about the Kumho KU31.

EDIT: ignore my post, I just realized you were after 19s. Those Neovas will be veeery expensive in that size. I think the reason that most don't do a semi in this size is that once you start going past 18s, the side wall profile starts to get very thin, and on top of that every time you increase the diameter of your wheel you're effectively changing the final drive of the car, and as a result the increased diameter will take away from acceleration.

achillies get loud fast and loose grip just as fast

Regular Achilles are garbage. I can't personally verify for the 123S but I have a few friends that use them as steerers.

i used a few on one of my cars, i planned to buy them (as they arevery well priced and perfore well untill they wear to far) then use them as drift tyres but they delaminated too easily when you try to heat them right up.

I havnt used the advan

I replaced my Bridgestone with nitto invo. They work well on my F6 so should be sweet on the VF. I just went stock sizes. 245 and 275

Costco has Bridgestone S001 $399 fitted rear, $350 front. Can recommend Sumitomo HTR Z III as better than Bridgies or Contis, high quality Japanese for about $100 less.

 

[Why?]

I want them primarily for track day use, I would go Toyo Proxes R888 only they are not available in the sizes I want. Tyres are not expected to last long. You don't do track days if your worried about money as the cost of tyres, brakes, brake fluid changes, oil changes etc make it quite expensive but boy are they fun.

For a good track day tyre try Hankook RS3. They have the sizes you need. The boys use them on 500+ rwkw falcons So as long as you have less than that should be sweet.
