Tire questions from a budget z owner
 
I'm gonna need tires soon, desided on mich. pps

What are the positives and negatives to a square setup?

2014 370z sport with stock suspension

If I stick with a staggered setup do I just get stock sizes or larger?

I live 90 miles from the dragon so you know the roads I drive, lol

The Mich PPS are great on the Dragon. You might want to look at the Mich PS4S. It's slowly replacing the PSS. I have the 345/30-19 PPS on the rear and 285/35-19 PS4S on the front.

No real down side to the square set-up. Getting the rims specs you want might cost some. You can get 4 rims all the same, and use spacers on the rear. This way, you can rotate tires and rims around. If you don't like spacers. Get rims spec'ed for the front and rear.

If you want to use the stock rims. I don't know what size you have. So no answer on that. If you want to use aftermarket rims. Then the sky is the limit.

Stock sport rims, so I guess I would have to find 2 more rear rims? Better warranty on tires I heard if all the same?

I don't remember what the stock sport rim sizes are. :icon14: Nismo's yes.

275/35-19

245/40-19

You can bump to a 295/30/19 and a 255/35/19 or 285/35/19 and 275/35/19

Continental Extreme Contact sports are a great tire for the money if that's a sensitive area. Of course Michelins make an excellent tire.

Seeing that you're in NC, are you looking for all season tires or max summer?

jchammond 11-12-2017 07:28 AM

I'd go 245/40,285/35's on the Sport wheels (26.7",26.9") a slight rake & you can still rotate side to side,,,unless you're gonna throw a pair of rear Sport's up front.
Then you can rotate all over...w/275 or 285/35 square.

So no real downside to square?

OK now say that for a guy new to cars, lol, +38?

That said I love my sport rims and won't be lowering the car

jchammond 11-12-2017 08:11 AM

Your rear wheel lips will sit 8mm further out than mine

SS_Firehawk 11-12-2017 08:18 AM

+30 19x10" wheel is actually the same offset as the sport rears.
