Upgrade to Continentals?

SteveVQ

Hey Guys,

Got a bit of a dilemma. Currently have Nitto 555 G2s 305/35/19s on the rear and 245/35/19's front.

Rear's are pretty much shot, they're starting to look like slicks
Front's have some life left but they're too small for this kind of staggered fitment. It tramlines like a b*tch, so I was planning on going 265/35/19s fronts to help with that.

Here's the rub. I really like how the Nittos look, nice and beefy, BUT there are obviously better tires out there. I've been looking into ordering some Continental ExtremeContact Sports (been hearing good things) in the sizes above. When ordering its says I need to go to 305/30/19 rear instead of 305/35/19, guess every tire make is different as far as sidewall fitment? I'd really like to keep the beefier sidewall maybe someone can chime in on if I can still stay 305/35/19s r with the Conti's.

Also I was hoping to be able to see some examples of these tires in these specs on the Z. I heard conflicting results that the tires look like balloons? So I'd like to hear from anyone who has them installed.

I've tried searching on google and this site but have had no luck with the results.

Any feedback, pics, or directing me to the right thread would really be appreciated.
