DIGI you need STICKIER rubber to handle more power, width only does not = stickier.

i bet PSS 275/35 will stick better than V12 305/30....

I like fat turt.. I mean tires.

If anything, I don't mind switching to 265/35 & 285/35 setup. I had 255/35 tires up font, but didn't like the thin profile compared to 245/40.

So Conti DW or PSS should fit the budget (hopefully a bit stickier and slightly longer lasting)? Heck, I don't mind something slightly better than the V12 for daily driving. After paying off the car I'll get a daily grocery getter, so I don't mind better tires for driving on good days.

Just experimented with bigger sizes on stock sport wheels and it was a bloody fortune. Stock sizes it will be when I am ready to order tires.

I kept the stock sizes. I kind of figure Nissan engineers might know more than I do about optimal tire sizes..

True enough. No point having too much tire for the streets anyways.

i run stock tire size too.

Stock sizes are good. Bigger is not necessary, only for that one guy posting that he wants to put Rear size stock Rays rims on the front and the back rims running 275 in the front and 305 in the rears.

What??? That's like having too large a spoiler on a Civic! Can't be too large!!

Still: I like the 'look' of the 305's even if there is no performance advantage. As long as there is no major drawbacks to performance with these size tires, I will go with them!
