Brad Barnett Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I plan on putting these tires on my 2010 Gt 500 and have purchased them for the rear but I dont see how they will fit on the front without hitting a bolt on the shock tower. There is only about a 1/4" at best clearance if I move the Goodyear rear tires to the front and the Hankook are wider. I have stock suspension and stock 19" wheels. I dont want to modify the front suspension but would like to have the same size tires all around if possible, I know of several others who have these tires on 07 and 09 500's without any problems. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tread width on the Bridgestones are actually a 1/2" wider than the Hankooks and the same overall diameter. Hope this helps. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there's any difference between the '11's and the '10's. My car is a DD plus I have gone to a few track days last year. Last year I did the Summit Point track days with Team Shelby as well as the full course and grand course at VIR with TrackDaze. I did about 30 1/4 mile passes last year as well. VIR and 1/4 mile passes were in November so it was already getting pretty cold. Around 40 plus minus a few degrees. Experienced a little bit of fluries at VIR come to think of it. There was another small road course that I went to here in Jersey. The tires performed very well. I had no problems with them whatsoever. I will be buying another set for this season.

I was planning on taking it on the track at Laguna Seca since I only live about 20 min drive from there and also wondering how the tires would work for that. Also what kind of wear did you get on the Hancooks?Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Barnett Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Brad I got 25k miles including 8 track days Ok thanks Mike. I will order the other two tires for the front and sounds like better wear than the Goodyears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawwy600 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm running Hankook 255/40/19 up front and 285/35/19 on the rear. These are a nice improvement from the Eagle F1s and so far I've gotten 30k miles out of them. My car is a DD with occasional trips to the canyons.
