+--- Thread: BFG R1s on a 993 (/showthread.php?tid=981)
- jakp993 - 02-10-2008
Has anyone out there run the new BFG R1s on a 993? I think I saw them on Tom D's car, but I can't remember. It's been a long off-season
I usually run 245/35/18 and 285/30/18 Hoosiers. Closest sizes in the R1's are 245/40/18 and 285/30/18. The tire diameters look like they are larger than the Hoosiers by .5 - 1.0" accrding to specs on Tire Rack.
In any case, I'd like to hear of anyone's first hand experiences before I order.
thx,
Jack

Tom absolutely ran BRG's and liked them alot. They seem to hold up better in races than the R6's with no "fall off" at 20min of 10/10ths driving. Email Tom about the sizes ( I also need to talk to him about the upcoming VIR race with NASA and will ask the same Q). I am going to run a set of them for the March race and see. The sizes you mention sound correct, but Tom can tell you for sure.

I looked at them too, and would be more inclined to run the 275/35s because the diameter matches the front. I can sell the 245s for $250, the 275s for $256, and the 285s for $272 each plus shipping, if you guys are interested.

I think Tom runs 17's

Yep, and 18's. He bought new rims (more) last year.
