A Redeye tire choice starts with the wheel package, not the horsepower figure. The Widebody factory setup is 305/35ZR20 at every 20-inch wheel; a standard-body Redeye uses a narrower 20-inch package, and the 18-inch 315/40R18 drag-radial setup belongs on compatible drag wheels rather than stock 20s. Keep the same model and comparable tread depth across an axle. Summer tires deliver the sharpest warm-road traction but must not be driven or stored in freezing conditions; all-season choices are the better wet and cool-weather compromise, while drag radials belong at the rear for prepared-surface launches.

Buying tips
- Confirm whether the car is standard-body or Widebody and read the sidewall before ordering; 305/35ZR20 is the Widebody factory size, not a universal Redeye answer.
- Replace rear tires as an axle pair and keep front and rear diameters close to the factory package so ABS, stability control and the differential see sensible wheel-speed signals.
- Drag radials need compatible 18-inch wheels and warm, dry conditions; use conventional street tires for cold rain, highway trips and mixed-weather driving.
