48 hour Camaro Falken tire sizes

[MattG]

So the best I can tell, the rears on the 48 hour Camaro are the Falken rt- 615k in 315/30/18.

Is this right, or are they 335/30/18's? I haven't seen the 335's advertised.

I just want the stickiest tire I can get in a 200 rating and the guys at Ridetech say these can't be beat! Just want to get the size right before I buy.

Thanks...

18x10 with 275/35/18 and 18x12 with 315/30/18


I know of someone who did a tire test, same day, same track, back to back, and went faster on the falkens.

Thanks Bad94, funny how a smaller tire can be so much better. Damn things aren't cheap, but I think that's what I'm gonna run!

i have a set of them sitting in my shop waiting for wheels to be built....cant wait to try them...
just a fyi i used discount tire direct and they price matched what i found on ebay or other forums/websites. i ended up saving $300 for the set compared to their price listed on the website.

If you go to the ride tech site and watch the video of the making of the 48 hour camero(section about wheels) they are 335's on that car

Originally it had 335 BFGs on it. They have since made the change to Falkens, which are 315/30/18.

Is there advantage to the 315 you think? Im running a 315 now and was thinking about going to a 335.

I talked to the guys at Ridetech this summer at Holley LS Fest and they said the difference in grip between the BFG 335's and the Falken 315's was dramatic! Said the BFG's didn't grip near as well, and the Falkens improved their track times by seconds in many cases.

Falken doesn't make the 615k in a 335, so that is as big as it gets. It still looks good on a 12" rim, so that is the tire I'm gonna run.
