Tire size question

F: 225/35R19 R: 245/35R19 Would this tire size be too small for the Z ? Or should I stick to wider tire sizes, for better benefits? Thx

Too small, what are you using them for? DD or winter. Summers you can go
245/40 - some guys are running up to 285/30? fronts
275/35 (stock) to 305/30 rear

Winter, i'm running a 225/50/18 front and a 245/45/18 rear.

Those are the non sport stock sizes... so it would be fine however a bigger tire would perform much better

Non sport sits on 18s.

Those are way too small for the OEM 19s.

the OP didnt state whether he was on the stock rims or not.. if that is the case then yes it would be way to stretched. I was simply stating that the car would still drive and perform "okay"

Someone local was selling rims with this size tire mounted on them already, but they do seem small....I guess I'll be buying new tires for them..
