370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

MannyWiner · 04-05-2015, 10:31 PM

I really would prefer 305, 295 if necessary. I know the 275 on the front is big but I really don't want to have to buy four tires just to change sizes, I want to put the money in other places right now.

Another question, would going with http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes on the back with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports be okay?

I may be looking too far into this but maybe someone can enlighten me.
For rear Nismo wheels changing the stock 285/35/19 over to a 305 everyone says to go with 305/30/19 but that doesn't make sense if ur doing it for traction because u may gain about .79 inch wider but your loosing overall diameter -2.04 inch or -2.4% circum. so it's a wash from what I gained going wider.
but 305/35/19 u gain .79 wide and gain 1.73 inch or 2.1% circum. and that's less of a difference or change then oem size so your speedo would technically be more accurate with the 305/35/19 even tho it's a small difference but that means slightly more meat.

all the percentages are less of a change for 35 series tires

go look up 305/35/19 on tirerack and tell me what you find.

make sense why everyone is running 305/30? lol

if diameter measurements are your concerns then run 265/305 the diameters are identical 26.3 in RE-11's.

That's why you get 325/30R19s...much much closer to the overall diameter of the factory 285.

RBfastback · 05-18-2015, 10:40 AM

diameters aren't really my goal, it's for now while I have stock wheels I'm looking for the most traction possible for the rear for when I f.i. my z.
idk where I was reading it about going from 285/35/19 to 305/30/19 isn't as much grip (in a strait line) as u think because of the loss of circumference. obviously when cornering it's better.
only options I can find on the calculator are 295/35 but that's such a minuscule difference and there more expensive or 325/30 and those look like they would be amazing but I don't think it will work in the 10.5 rear nismo wheels...
any thoughts aside from new wheels cuz that won't be for awhile.

I plan on using PSS tires
