Yea, they actually fit pretty well. A bunch of the local autox guys were trying to convince me to go as far as 295 on all 4. I didn't want to push it, but after seeing the 285 fitment I definitely...

I don't have any experience out of my local clubs, but here the Z seems more than competitive in CS, and I'm not sure I'd write us off for BSP just yet. Shamu is the only person I've heard of trying...

Managed to win the street tire CS class at today's autox (and got 11th out of 53 in PAX) Turns out our stock tires aren't too bad in the rain ;)

275/35 F & 295/30 R on Sport Wheels
