275/40-19,a tad too heavy..285/35-19 the best.

i think the op said 60% worn or something to compensate the larger circumference... or so.

thanks for all the helpful replies guys. I did some hard driving today and didnt feel any issues. I do like how the ride isnt as rough as is it was on the Bridgestones. I'm in Cali so rain isnt a issue at moment even though we wish it was lol. I'll be getting the right size once these wear out and I replace all 4.Looks wise you cant even tell. People at work check my car out everyday and no one even noticed. Even after I told one of them he said he can't tell. plus the wheel well seems more filled which I like.

on a side note I install the GT-R Start button today. So freakin easy and quick. less than 2 mins of work and looks awesome. Should have been this way stock.

Using a almost gone tyre on the Z is the most stupid decision,except you decided to drive like a grandfather...not exceeding 70 km/h.

Funny you should mention that. Since I was working on the rear diff bushing that day, I already had the car up and just took the wheels up to Discount Tire in the Acura. It was almost closing time when I got the tires mounted. I drove home and went to put them on, knowing they were asymmetrical tires, and promptly realized they were installed backwards.



BUT .... take note if you want to hear about how customer service should work ....

I called him up 10 minutes after they closed. He apologized, saying that one of their new guys did the work. He told me to bring it back to take care of it. The last car was just getting finished up when I arrived about 30 minutes after closing. He brought the new guy over to apologize to me personally and then actually took the time to explain to the guy why they were backwards rather than just tell him to fix it. The new guy was embarrassed but very polite, and I was happy with the way he treated my rims (I watched him both times). All hope is not lost
