So help me out guys whats the best combo 255/35F + 275/35 R or 265/350F + 295/30 or dare I say it.... 275/30or 35 F + 305 / 30 R!!! All opinions greatly appreciated.... Thanks...

I'm currently running 255/295 and have no understeer problems. And from a 295 to a 305 you're looking at an increase of $40 per tire.

hey guys here is a question please chime in..
Looking to get the PSS it seems that getting the 255/35/19 isn't a problem, but apparently and according to multiple sources the 295 only comes in a 30/19... would it be a problem if ran a size 255/35/19 up front with 295/30/ 19 rear..If indeed it is a problem what do you guys recommend I run with.. maybe 265/30/19 F with the 295/30/19 R ...hmmmmm
specs of wheels are 19x9.5 +22 F / 19x10.5 +12 R
thanks..

I just got and installed PSS for my nismo wheels: 275/35/19 Front and 305/30/19 Rear. I will track my car in 3 weeks..., will report back the result.

Btw 305/30/19 PSS is about 1" wider than 305 RE11.... weird

But hey... this means more meat and traction

Just purchased a full set of PSS. My "new" HanKook Ventus (less than 3k with 1 track day) will be in the sale thread in the FOR SALE thread soon...

Ordering mine in 2 weeks from tirerack. $855.68 seems like a great deal compared to a few other places i called ($1300 from one shop i forget the name of).
How do you guys like the tires so far? Almost every review I've read says the tires are great on dry surfaces and just as, if not better, in the rain.
