    Hey everyone first time posting here. I am looking into putting new tires on my 2014 Rallye Redline and want to upgrade to 275's in the rear. Any suggestions, I don't really want to break the bank but obviously spending money is expected.

    just kidding, but seriously, let’s see it.

    I am really liking my NEW Nitto’s

    On the stock wheel 274/40/20 would be the biggest you could go. And yes welcome and post some pics.

    I put these on yesterday. The number 1 rated tire on Tire Rack in their category. VRedestein Quatrac Pro.

    Welcome, are you looking at winter driving conditions or strictly summer and wet driving.

    Thank you all for the responses don't worry I will post pictures soon haha! I'm from Jersey so I was looking into the all-season options because the weather is unpredictable here. The Nitto's look really solid and I haven't heard of the VRedestein's how are they driving?

    Welcome! I've always had luck with Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com) They have reviews and pro testing so it's a great resource.

    They have a test you can read on Tire Rack where they had the VRedestein Quatrac Pros up against Continental, and a couple other brands. I can’t remember the exact wording, but you can look it up maybe. They listed the pros and cons for each tire and when they got to the cons on the VRedestein they said, “can’t think of any”, or something like that. That’s good enough for me. My Nitto Invos had a 260 tread rating and the rears were about bald in a year. These VRedestein have a 400 rating. I have had them for only about 24 hours but I like them.

    One thing to remember about treadwear ratings is that they are only worthwhile for comparing tires within the same brand. This is because there are no industry standards for treadwear. Each company gets to set their own standards. Bottom line, a Goodyear with a treadwear rating of 400 will not last twice as long as a Michelin with a 200 rating.
