We need 335-345 wide with a diameter of 27-28. Any bigger in dia you'll need to stretch the wheel wells like a Pro-street car.
I want street and race compounds in the same sizes. Ever look for 19 or 20 race compound?
I've been using nothing but Michelins lately.

I second everything Jeff said. A good friend just had to buy a whole set of 18" wheels to run R Compound tires because there were no R compounds in 19 & 20 to match his existing rolling stock.

And what about some plus size redline tires?

Iwould like to see more larger tire choices in the 19 inch sizes.I have the kdw2s and i like that style tread pattern.also make them somewhat more affordable.19s are spensive.

Exactly what we discuss with MT, a 27" 335.

Thank you all!
 

Thank you all for your comments. This is exactly the type of response that they were looking for. Keep a look out, you are going to see a new tire out really soon, from one of the BIG manufacturers, and I know they will take into account everything that has been said here. Really, it's going to be a newer version, of an already existing, and well selling tire tread. I think everyone will be happy. Keep an eye on Driverzinc.com for more information in the coming year!

Call me crazy, I alway loved the design of the khumo ecsta supras.

well i do not drive my car that much but when i do i would love to have a sticky road race tire with an aggressive pattern that would be dot legal but that would work in the rain, like if i took a road trip to a car show and a down poor happened, i want to make sure i do not hydro-plane all over the road. i run a 315-35-17 but it's not that sticky with all the hp i have, so in the rain when i hit the throttle i feel like i'm on a slip in slide and i don't have near as much hp as most people here have. so super sticky, wet tread pattern and some real tread on them so i don't wear them out in 2000 miles.

And RWL (not OWL). At least in popular sizes.

Directional does not matter to me. When I was a Michelin dealer, MAST was always driving home the point that directional does not matter all the much, and in fact it is all about carcass & compound – tread design is more about noise and some wet abilities. This was back in the day of the original gimmick aquatreads. Michelins XH4 was the best passenger car tire out there at the time and had a simple pattern that looked like I designed it (I’m no artist). Best big hoops I drove on a DD were 245/45/16 Michelin MXXs. Loved them. No fancy tread all, IIRC.

If you stay away from directionals & inside/outside type deals, RWL and redlines become easier on the manufacturers & resellers, since they won’t need extra SKUs. Like truck tires – mount the letters on the inside.

If I could get RWL 17s, I’d buy them (and wheels) right now (or yellow only if they say Michelin or Pirelli, – shoot me, I’m tire-vain).

We need a 335 18" tire that comes in a bit cheaper than the Michelins.

17" tire w/ 28" diameter
 

seems like all performance 17" tires aim for ~26" diameter, I'd love to have 28".
