jchammond last question will the 285's on the rear be fine with the stock rims that come with the 2009 Sport + Touring?
Only thing holding me back is two things I saw mentioned on the forum. 1) These tires don't look good (maybe because of the narrowness) 2) All weather tires don't belong on a Z Thoughts? I'm pretty close to ordering your recommendation tonight though. |

2) Depends on what you need out of the car. Some people only drive their Z on the track. Obviously, A/S tires aren't appropriate. But someone daily driving their Z in Virginia? Then sure, A/S tires are perfectly appropriate (and safe!).

285/35/19's are a perfect square fit on 19x10's & you'll love the ride & tread wear. All Michelin tires look good!

You can get these & then use this for an excuse to get you a "Custom-Fit" set of wheels/tires for the summer time.
You won't be dis-satisfied at all!

Depends on how the tires look that come off & if you’ve had any issues with pulling,etc...

If you get an alignment contract (NTB does 5 years and Firestone does lifetime), then you can just go get one whenever you feel like it. I drove mine hard enough that I needed new rear tires about every six months - I got an alignment every time.

Order complete! They arrive Thursday, pretty excited . Man forgot how expensive replacing all four tires is but I bet after the install, bigger rears (285), and realignment she will drive like a beauty.
My rims on the other hand have some bad scuffs-rashing from city parking. I could plastic dip them black to hid that. |

Be sure the alignment people give you a printout; as there has been quite a few members (including myself) get a Fubarred one & car doesn’t drive right.
Wouldn’t hurt to ask if they had experience aligning the Z’s Hope all goes well & tire’s will perform great!

I'm asking because I plan to go 285 / 255 or 265 on my next set. |
