Differance in size before the lights come on

Rusty · 09-16-2014, 08:10 PM

Searched, but didn't find what I was looking for. Question is how much differance can you have between the front tire and rear tire in diameter before it affects the computer? Reason is, I have to order new rear tires. I corded them at my last trackday. The front tires are 275/35-19, 26.6" in diameter, and they are still good. The old 325/30-19's are 26.7" in diameter. Wondering if I could go to 345/30-19, 27.2" diameter without the lights coming on.

Ken would know. In one of the threads he told me, but I can not recall. It could be something like 1%.

whenever i was buying my newest set of tires someone mentioned the acutal amount of difference where it messes up the ECU but for the life of me i cant remember.

i'm running 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 RE-11's and have no light. not sure of the specs of their diameters at the moment.

Man. I REALLY didn't know where to go with that title.

To keep TCS happy I would keep a stagger of at least .5" to a max of 1"

Rusty · 09-17-2014, 05:16 PM

I'm looking at a .6" for what I want to do.

cooltoy · 09-17-2014, 05:17 PM

Must be 1", not 1%. I had a number 1 in my head. Looks like you should be OK at 0.6.

Waiz · 09-17-2014, 06:00 PM

It's tough to really get concrete info but in my experience if you maintain at least 1% to 3% you won't run into issues

The .5" to 1" guidance is what we have been suggesting to people for years on my350z without issue

I also use this tire calculator whenever I am asked too:

me?

the 350Z/G35C dynamic control system is rudimentary in comparison to the 370Z's system.

i think if you're within 3% you're fine. i dont have scientific data on this though.

I thought it was you who told me, it might have been Waiz. Sorry for throwing up the bat signal.

Even for as long as the Z33 has been out we don't have concrete info

Damn Nissan and it's over complicated systems!
