Suggestion
Not sure why the back are different as the wheels seem to be a set, the two fronts are 225/55 i think but both are same.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I know these are not your typical tire sizes but, are a perfect match for 18", 7.5 and 10" turbo twist wheels on a 2001 C2 Tip. from a design aspect, but are larger diameter. see below (red).

The roads here are rough and I have the ROW M030 suspension, I'm getting beat to death on road expansion joints and pot holes, mostly rears I think.
Thought this setup might absorb some shock.
Question: will this setup have much adverse effect on a daily driver, moderately aggressive style.
I have sold the same sizes for the 996 before with no real reports back of trouble. They are a bit tall but fit as long as the car is not lowered too far. Preferably not at all. They will absorb a bit more road shock, but not any more than buying performance all seasons in the proper sizing.
Give me a call, we'll talk through it some more and get you into something that works!
Hello,
I have a question I am looking at a set of tires for sale in my area, the back tires one is 255/40/18 the other is 266/35/18. Not sure why the back are different as the wheels seem to be a set, the two fronts are 225/55 i think but both are same.
Can i drive on these wheels, i think the previous owner did.
The tire size is too tall for your car. A better recommendation would be a tire that has a more compliant ride or to downsize within the vehicle manufacturer specifications. In this case I would recommend Michelin tires or original equipment Porsche tire and wheel sizes in 17". Since you mentioned that you are a more agressive driver I would take the Michelin 18" route in the proper sizes for your car 225/40-17 or 235/40-17 front and 265/35-18, 285/30 18 or 295/30 18 rear. Sumitomo tires are not going to solve either problem.
