Bridgestone RE-11's mounted

Yep. 305 is technically a little too wide for a 10" rim so it's not optimal, it will still work though, it's just going to function more like a 295.

That's awesome! props to you for getting detail in the black tires on a white car.

Do us a BIG favor PLEASE!!!!

Take some pics of the rear of the car more straight-on from the rear so we can see how FAT those look from the back.

YES!!!

It would be awesome to get perspective on the the rear stance and the contact patch.

I tried but failed. I will try again under more controlled lighting.

If I had any doubts about buying this car now I have no doubts this car is a priority for me. Been able to fit a 305s in the back makes a world of sense to me.

I put some 275 BF goodrich DR on my BMW 335i and I droped my times 6 tenths of a second in the 1/4 mile and increased my speeds about 3 miles, I only went from 255s to 275's. Now knowing that you can fit nicely 305's on the Z rear rims it just opens a whole new world of possibilities for this car. What an awesome car!!

By the way, your car looks absolutely killer.

Are these tire sticky? How did you do at the auto-x?

At the last auto-x they killed everyone, but the weather was abnormally cold and a little damp. It's not everyday you get to beat everyone on R-compounds.

This Saturday I'll get to test them with a little heat. Weather forecast is for mid 80's.

Look forward to your results

Awesome tires! We run them on everything since the RE01R is no longer.

Zeto · 06-09-2009, 04:29 PM

There's a new option for a285/35R19 tire. Would this option be better than the 305 for the rear?

A 255/35 front with a 285/35 rear could work nicely, but it will depend on them posting the exact specs.

However be warned that these tires are designed as a auto-cross competition tire, not necessarily the best street tire option.
