Opinions Needed for tires

symple84

So I ordered my wheels and need some opinions on tire sizing and brands. I won't be doing any tracking so just want something comfortable, reliable, and quiet.

My wheel specs are 19X9.5 +15 fronts and 19X11 +10 rears. Can I stick with the stock bridgestones are is that not recommended?

Feedback is welcomed.....

I would upgrade the tires. That would be a somewhat stretched tire setup if you used stocks.

well, the oem nismo wheels are 9.5 wide front and 10.5 wide rear and we run a 245/40 19 (f) and a 285/35 19 (r)

You could still run the 245/40 tire up front no prob but your stock 275 rear would probably be too stretched (at least for me) on that 11" rear.

If you replace all four, you could choose for the front from the following sized that many folks here have: 245/40, 255,35 (not enough sidewall for me on this one), 265/35, or even 275/35 (this one maintains the exact same aspect ratio as the stock 245/40).

for the rear: 285/35 (will be stretched some), 295/35, 305/30 (very popular around these parts) and would work perfect with a 11" wide rear wheel.

Now, if you are lowered etc, you'll have to check and see which sizes will work with your offsets so you don't rub going over bumps, turning etc.

The only thing you may want to be careful of is how low are you. With a 9.5 +15 front and a 265 tire you will most likely be rubbing unless you have a ton of Negative camber...

I have had the following brands so i hope this helps
Toyo Proxes- Great grip, wear very easily phenomenal in the rain!
Nitto 555- Wear quicly, grip wasnt great, horrible in the rain
Hankook Ventus EVO- Great wear, good grip not the best but good, good in rain, inexpensive
Bridgestone Potenza- (stock Z tires)- Ok grip, decent wear, many better options out there

These are just my takes and opinons on these tires.

Also if you want a stretched look or squared look or a bubble look to the tires that would help for tire recommendations as everyone has a different preference for this look.

I don't really want to run negative camber so I think I'd stick to 255/35/19 for fronts and 305/30/19 for the back. I have heard really good things about the proxes too so I might just stick to those. Thanks for your help!!

Sounds like a good tire combo above and yes for warm weather the Toyo's are awesome! Good luck

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's if price isn't an issue. Hankook V12's, great tires if you're on an budget. The Toyo Proxes R1R look pretty cool, but I don't know much about them performance wise.
