Find me 295/35/19...if possible

NewYorkJon34 · 03-20-2010, 07:36 PM

Looking for a 295 tire to go on the stock rear 370Z sport package rims, I'd like to get a pair in 295/35/19 because I plan on keeping the front 245's the same as those are pretty much perfect for what I need. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd apprecate it...

Search the tire size and you'll find BF Goodrich G-Force. It's not hard to search for it.....lol
You'll have to buy some front tires.

ya its the only tire thats available, but its like $300+ a tire, was just wondering if there were any other options. And why would I need to buy new front tires?

nogoodname · 03-20-2010, 11:11 PM

Mixing tires is not recommended. You will find a better selection of tires in 285's.

Caravanshaka · 03-20-2010, 11:11 PM

That is a crazy rare size, so those are the only ones. You'd have to buy fronts so you don't stagger the rubber compounds which is bad for consistent handling.

NewYorkJon34 · 03-20-2010, 11:15 PM

so either go 245-255/35/19 in the front & 285-295/30/19 in the rear to have an even set-up?

255/285 is good.

Yes, 255/35/19 front and 295/30/19 rear has quite a few options as well, otherwise it's 245/40/19 front and 285/35/19 rear.

Have you considered going with 18" or 20" wheels? There are more options for tire sizes and brands than 19". A lower priced tire will offset the cost of the new wheels.

NewYorkJon34 · 03-21-2010, 11:53 AM

I wanna keep the stock rims as those are light enough, but I plan on going with the stillen S/C and the bigger tire would def help with traction issues. I don't really see the benefit of a bigger front tire, but if I could could find a set of 4 tires that are better & lighter then stock then that would be a plus.

Bridgestone RE-11's FTW!

shabarivas · 03-21-2010, 01:45 PM

Why the F would you run that size? Stock is 275 35 19 - so if you want to retain stock ish tire diameter you would have to go... 305 30 19

NewYorkJon34 · 03-21-2010, 02:45 PM

So are u saying I should just go with a 245/285 tire set-up?

shabarivas · 03-21-2010, 02:54 PM

Here is how tire math works:

Sports pkg tires wheels:

Front: 19 x 9 @ 245/40/19 which means the sidewall height is going to be 40% of 245

so if you wanted to run a wider tire on the same rim... just make sure this formula applies: 0.40 * 245 = 0.35 (or even lower if you can find tires) * X where X is your new width...

similarly in the rear you would run the following:
0.35 * 275 = 0.30 * X (new width)...

You do this to ensure your rotational radius is kept as close to stock as possible (you will otherwise throw off electronics that use revolutions per min / sec off your tire...) - not to mention your speed readout lol..

This will give you the +/- speedo reading depending on the change from factory:
