The extreme contact force is a 200 tw DOT tire. The 295 will fit a 10” wide wheel but would be supported better by an 11” wheel. I am looking at trying 295’s on my 10” wheels the next go around.

I am really curious to see 295/30/19's on 10" wheels actually. Do you think those Conti's would be fine to drive me to work and back? 😅

I don't think they would be horrible on the street, but they may be prone to hydroplaning on standing water based on my experience with similar tread patterns.

The Force is a great overall tire as it is designed for Endurance Racing , which translates great for HPDEs, but I thought you were locked in to either Firestonse or Ohshitzus? If you are just going with the wheels, then there are a ton of choices and a 295 will fit on a 10 inch wheel , though a 10.5 -11.0 would be a bit better if needed. If you are considering just grabbing the wheels there are some other options besides the Force tires , though I do know where you may still get a deal on them.

Well I am actually considering those for the future. But if I can talk to lmr and just get the wheels and the tpms sensors for a good price, then, it could be a different story.

They are one good option, there are others , and if you do get a good deal with just wheels , then you have plenty of choices open -- though some may not be in your budget. Likely the Conti Force or Falcon RT660s would be in there at lower pricing, if the program is still up?

I think it was using the discount code from this thread. Not sure if it still works.
