As much as I'd love a set of Michelin PSS tires, kind of overkill for what I drive

I don't think so. And if you go with a square setup they have a 30k mile tread wear warranty.

Tire rack called me to make sure I knew 275/35 was shorter than 255/40 (OEM). Yes, I know this. They tried to recommend 275/40 which is 27.7" tall (stock is 27", 275/35 is 26.6"). Sorry but I don't want truck tires.

Thats funny, they did that with me when I bought 275/30-19 for my m3, (stock is 255/35/19) and the guy threw this big stink about putting on wrong tires. Literally went on about how unsafe they would be since they werent made for my car, felt like when I was 16 and my dad was trying to give me advice about women, just STFU!!

Yeah it's a CYA policy, though. They have to have that conversation so that you can't come back and sue them if the tire blows out or something.

Just PM him on this forum. That's what I did and he replied the next day.

My fangs are already blacked out

I got the Tire Rack call when I bought my front tires, but not for the tears. The guy was just like "you know these are different from factory spec, right?". I said yeah and that was about it.

Damn 30K? That's pretty stout for a serious max-perf summer time

Very nearly bought new rims. Good discounted price on brand new wheels. Took a closer look on a Z with those rims, though, and went "no thx"
