Tire Diameters

So Ive been searching around the net for various tires that will fit 9 x 16 and 11 x 16 custom fuchs. Theres the new P7 Corsa that Im waiting to hear back from the distributor in Canada and the only other I can find in 315 and 255 are Micky Tompsons Street ET. There a 27 inch tire vs a 25-26 inch tire people normally run. Anyone have any practical insight? Anyone tried to run MT street/drag radials on a 911 without isses? Pics would be great too! Thanks.

25 inch diameter. If you go with 27s it'll look like a monster truck or something...

Thats what i figured. I have found 26 inch but they are drag slicks. Was hoping there might be more people who are in the same boat with expeirence. Looks like most guys just gave up and got 17's.

Are the Michelin available in sizes for 16 inch wheels of that width?

I thought TB were only sized for 15. Hind sight I wish I got some 15's instead of 16's. Tires are alot easier to find for 15 vs 16's.

It's official. I'm joining the ranks of guys running 17s. It to much hassle to find tire for 16s. Thanks guys.
