Need new tires input appreciated

It is not just for looks. My car has a hard time hooking now with the super charger. I highly doubt using the same size tire as the nismo z

It is not just for looks. My car has a hard time hooking now with the super charger. I highly doubt using the same size tire as the nismo z will make it handle worse. Not only that but going from stock to super sports will help too.

run sticky 305 rear and you'll be fine with a SC. probably only around 400ft/lbs tq so that'll help.

maybe consider something like a toyo R888 if you're still spinning PSS's

I switched from PSS's to RE-11s and they are stickier. bumping to something like a R88 is even more sticky.

As I said my limited opinion. I can see it being more functional for anyone running more than bolt ons.

I wanted the 305 for the look myself, even researched it on here and got a wide variety of "yes it awesome" & "don't it messes up the car".

There's a pretty long thread on here somewhere where a member got them and then came to ask why his ride didn't feel right. I'll see if I can find it, a poster in there had the reason I just can't recall it off hand.

My post wasn't to start and argument though because I know for sure they will fit. My buddy had 285 up front 305 in back. I think that's about the limit you can go on the stock 19 rays though...maybe 295 on the front, 315 on back? But would be pushing it at that point.
