255/40/19 over 245/40/19 Fronts

antfd3s · 03-04-2011, 02:03 PM

When im due for front tires, do you think itll be a waste of money to jump up to 255s instead of running the oem 245s? I was thinking with staying with the Advan Sports although im up for suggestions on other brands. My driving style is slightly aggressive and im thinking wider is better? These advans are wearing fairly fast. I have 10k on them. I had a pair of dunlops 255s on my 350 they seemed to work well. What do you guys think? Make the jump or no. There going on the Nismo 19s. Thanks in advance.

if you're understeering then it might be worth it to get the wider 255's.

I tried it. It worked, no rubbing or anything. I could not feel any difference what so ever in the handling between stock. The reason I removed them is they flung crap all over the side of the car. It was really bad.

So you removed the 255s? im confused.
This car turns and dives into them real well. Especially after it was dialed in @ Rt Tuning. I guess ima go with what I know works.
