So I think I am going to try the Continental ExtremeContact Sports as I've had em in the past and loved them.

I'm trying to figure out best size to fill in the wheel gap some and maintain stability. I have springs, but I haven't installed them, I wanted to see if a taller tire will fix the gap and still work out.

Any suggestions on fronts and rears to maintain or improve traction and fill in the wheel gap a little without adding springs?

If you've had the tires on your Supra and have opinions, I am happy to hear them, but only if you have actual experience with Cont. and Supra together.

Thanks!

I have an 18x10 and 18x11 f/r set up with Conti Extreme Contact Sports, so not exactly apple to apple with 19” w PSS’s.
But the ride is a softer and a wee bit of steering response was lost, but that may have to do more with 18” size. Great wet and Dry grip.

Which springs do you awaiting installation? I made a thread similar to this a week or so ago and it seems like the "best overall" tire size to fit on the OEM wheels is 265/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear. I had several people recommend 305s in the rear but I don't believe they offer the most optimal performance, I believe that goes to the 285/35/19, or if the tire you're looking at comes in a 295/35/19, maybe this.

Nope, it actually looks great
Yeah I'd think that would actually fill some of the stock gap pretty nicely when paired with wider wheels / more aggressive offset. At least visually. Tucked and stretched low profiles is more likely to look like a 4X4 IMO or just a half finished hellaflush disaster. ?

Of those, probably the NT555R2 would have superior dry grip. Do longevity and/or wet traction matter to you?

Longevity not too much of an issue. Mostly dry here in AZ. I get caught in rain maybe a dozen days out of the year.
