I probably wouldn't try the PSS on a 10" rim. They run way wider than anything else.

Dai and I were looking up reference material yesterday and he found this: michelin pss lots of pics 305 30 19 and 265 35 18 weight and fit - Corvette Forum

It pretty much confirmed our suspicions that the PSS is super wide and is probably going to perform like poop when a 305 is mounted on a 10" rim. 10.5" would be in spec, but even on a 10.5 it's going to be super meat. 10"... no way.

The Re11s run narrower and will work, though.

Whaaaaaa?

Maybe ill look at 295/285s. I really want PSS tires for the bump in treadwear over the RE11s.


Seriously good info. Glad I posted before I bought anything.

I hear ya. If you are OK with running a shorter tire you can pull off a 295/30 on the rear. Since you are lowered it wouldn't look bad at all. Something like 265/35 and 295/30 would work with a front/rear diameter difference of -1.3% (stock is -.5%).

Yeah I would have preferred the 305 in the rear because of it being closer to the stock size.

This has been quite handy lately Tire size calculator

Any who that 265/295 setup would be quite nice I think.
