    Tires for 2023 Audi RS 3

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am looking for 200 TW tires for autocross and was wondering if anyone has tried a 275/30/19 of the front. I want to make sure there would be no issues or rubbing at all. There doesn't appear to be any stock sized tires in the 200 tread wear category for the front. Are there any issues running 275/30/19 on the front and 245/35/19 on the rear? it is for a 8Y 2023 Audi RS 3.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    You are going to find a pretty wide difference in tread widths in that size range.
    While not an Audi, I have run some 265 width tires on my Porsche that rubbed and some 275 tires that cleared just fine. The Tire Rack guys are pretty knowledgeable and should be able to tell you if the tires you are looking at run a little wide or narrow.
    Are you running any camber plates? Is this on stock wheels?

    on the tire rack site they have the actual tread width listed too. Are the fronts still only 8" wide? 275 is pretty wide for 8", and the tire rack site will tell you recommended wheel width for a given tire too. Are you running the split aizes? If not, that's worthwhile. I'm running that but on 18" wheels with a total track width 4" greater than stock. I'm running theKumho Ecsta V730 XL and they stick well.

    This would be a decent setup. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...erformance=ALL
    I like the Kuhmo's better though (have had both)

    Myself, I'd get a set of wheels/tires just for the auto-x and go down to 18" which allows more tire selection, less weight and wider wheels. (which I did lol). On my car, 275 would fit fine though I do have camber plates.

    There is a RS3 specific forum...
