Why you should use these tires with NISMO Wheels: 285/35R19 (F), 325/30R19 (R)

Installing the 285 in the front with 305 in the back

here the 285 on 9.5. POTENZA RE11

How are you getting better fuel economy? That seems to defy physics... Larger contact area yields more friction, thus more rolling resistance(i.e. Traction). If your logic were true Toyota would be putting 255's on Prius's...

Increase in weight...rotational mass as well. I got to get me some of those tires lol!

I love mine. I have over 40k miles on my front RE11 285/35/19 and they are half gone. The rears only last me 20-24k miles. But that is all Interstate driving. Very easy on the tires.

Yes the amount of weight and air affects how much the tire will touch the road. but all things being equal, a 285 is wider surface area.

note- -sorry for bumping old post
