^^ +1 i suppose between (example) 160AA vs 360AA we can assume there is longer wear on the 360AA, but there's really no scientific data to prove how it does against each other, i dont think.

Wear/traction ratings are not really comparable across brands. Even across individual manufacturers sometimes.

**On K&W v3's if anyone has these with such a drop and could comment, I'd appreciate it.

They [Discount Tire] have a 265/30 but I have been told that you want a different side profile for the front/rear with a front bias. So a 265/30 and a 305/30 would not work together. Is this correct?



2nd question, if cost is somewhat of a concern, but not major. Is it a noticeable difference from a 295 to a 305. And would it have any difference based on front widths?

So say if I went from my current 255 to a 265 or 275, will the 295 in the rear be a good offset, or should I bump to the 305?

PSS Tire Noise
 
Does the tire noise significantly increase as these tires wear? H
How many miles can one expect as a daily driven 370Z? I am getting approx. 18K miles on the stock tires before the rear tires have to be replaced.

I have over 3k on my and they are much quieter then the stock sport tires.

My first full year was great, but in my second year (as of May) the tire noise has increased. Most of the increased tire noise is typically on concrete highways. if the highway is asphalt, it's still fairly quiet. Some of it is likely me, as I wasn't driving very much for about 6 months during an unemployed stint; and wasn't getting out much to avoid the gas costs. Based on the tread life rating, I was hoping to get three full years out of these tires. However, based on my current tread I seriously doubt that these tires will last three years. two full years is probably what I will get out of them (and what I got from the stock tires)...we shall see.

Ive had these tires for 5 months or so..Is it me or does it feel unstable when youre going into a corner on uneven pavement? There were a few times when I felt the car was starting to slide and the traction control turned on. It's not like I was darting into the corner and the road was not wet. Is it the tires or the car?

255/295, sports package, auto

Mine due tend to have a slight sponginess to them when corning hard but never has my traction control turned on; they still corner great though. Perhaps for you, it's also the slight increase in width you went with?

Just check with the tire shop,PSS don't make 285/35-19 size.

If they did. That would have been on the front of my Nismo instead of the 275/35-19. ;)
