jchammond last question will the 285's on the rear be fine with the stock rims that come with the 2009 Sport + Touring?

Only thing holding me back is two things I saw mentioned on the forum.

1) These tires don't look good (maybe because of the narrowness)
2) All weather tires don't belong on a Z

Thoughts?

I'm pretty close to ordering your recommendation tonight though.

1) S-04s maybe. But that's why you size up from 275 to 285 for them. Don't know of any other tire that runs as narrow. 285 will fit fine and look fine on the sport package Rays rear wheels.

2) Depends on what you need out of the car. Some people only drive their Z on the track. Obviously, A/S tires aren't appropriate. But someone daily driving their Z in Virginia? Then sure, A/S tires are perfectly appropriate (and safe!).

You gotta get what perform's for you & not what work's for someone that lives where they can run Max-Summer tires year round....That's why i'd run the A/S3+'s & they're "Y" speed rated (186mph) & they are track tested.
285/35/19's are a perfect square fit on 19x10's & you'll love the ride & tread wear.
All Michelin tires look good!

You can get these & then use this for an excuse to get you a "Custom-Fit" set of wheels/tires for the summer time.
You won't be dis-satisfied at all!
