So stock is 285/35/19. So my options are:

285/40/19
295/30/19
295/35/19.

which is the lesser of the evils if trying to stay as close to stock as possible. More specificly if I have to error on either slightly larger than stock or slightly smaller than stock which way should I go? Also, how does this affect the front? Do I want to go slightly smaller or larger in front to match or leave stock size?

My current setup is 255/295. I'll be going 265/295 for my next setup. With the 295/35 in the rear, my Speedo currently reads +2mph FASTER than I'm actually going, confirmed by radar detector GPS.

I'll look into the SO4's and ADO8's as well. Thanks guys

I forgot about AD08's, I need to look into those. My only :confused: with them is wet traction... :icon08: Spohn?

Look at the specs for the tires and get the one with the most similar diameter to the fronts you chose.

:iagree: Same here, I might look at getting some AD08's as well vs RE-11's.

Secondly, would this same recomendation be good for the Camaro. Haven't been able to find a decent Camaro board to get good info yet.

Are you guys not on Camaro5? There is a wealth of information on that forum for the 5th gen camaros and I'm sure you could find plenty of tire discussion threads there that would be very helpful.

As for the Z, I'm definitely going with RE-11's next, my hankook V12's are too slippery.

joined Camaro5, not having much traffic there. I've been watching the board for the last week and it doesn't move all that fast. Decided to finally sign up and post my own message and very little response. Probably the best Camaro forum out there from what I've seen but not all that great as forums go in general

I have V12's now which are good but definitely could be stickier. I'm stuck between the RE-11s and the AD08s....the price sucks for 305s

That makes no sense, I think you mean you have a 295/30/19. A 295/35/19 is considerably larger diameter than the stock tire and you'll be reading quite a bit slower than your actually going.

Do Re-11's even come in 20"? or is it a V6 Camaro on smaller rims?

The Potenza S-04 have very stiff sidewalls, I ride on them at the moment and they are a great all around improvement over the RE050A.

Yes, that was a typo. I was trying to remember off the top of my head, and I guessed wrong :rolleyes:

Rears are 295/30's. But they do read on the speedo I'm going faster than I actually am.

From all the research/experience I've been able to build from using them, and reading on the forum, to which there are quite a few back and forth threads on... It sort of breaks down like this:

Michelin PSS: Great Street tire, Good on the Track

RE-11: Great Track tire, Good on the Street

Everything else is pretty much depending on the date/reviewer of the review.

Nice summary.

Where would AD08 fit as a one liner?
