tire help

going to switch out my 22's for my 300c, to a 21" step lip design, yes it gonna be wide. My rears now are 22x13's and thinking about 21x14's. Now the question, what tire that has nice stretch to it, comes in a 285/25r21?

thanks

If I were you, I'd get 295/25/21 Toyo Proxes T1R's. They run a little wide in smaller sizes, but I don't know if it applies to 21's, haven't tested mine out... yet.

And Toyo's have a very nice round stretch, my buddy run them in his Supra. If i remember right he had 235/35@19"x11" fronts and 275/35@19"x13" rears.
Here are some old pics from the importer: http://www.esv.fi/index.php?info=open&id=506

It's a shame that only a few tire manufactor offer 21" tires, and when they do there aren't much to pick from :shrug:

Here in Europe I can get Toyo's and Hankooks nearly at the same price, plus Toyo's are made from a harder rubber compound so they last longer :biggthumpup:

----------
For reference: Toyo's 295/25/21 = £247.20 vs. Hankook's 295/25/21 = £263.60
