305 is nearly an inch wider than 285, definitely worth it. Problem is that the stock 10" is kind of narrow for it, the fronts are an issue too as they are 9". I would love 305 35 19 F & R if I have the rims, 4 stock Nismo rear rims maybe?

Nismo rear is 19X10.5 +23, which I don't see working with a 305 on the front.

Just grabbed a set for myself. Someone brought them up today in a conversation on another forum...I've always bought Michelins for my 350Z and didn't even know that a PS2 replacement was out. Everything I've read about them sounds absolutely astonishing. I've only put 8K miles on the OEM Bridgestones, but they've gotten a little too loud for my liking at this point. So once I saw how superb the Super Sports are, I simply pulled the trigger and snatched them up.

Can't wait to receive the tires. The rears are also 5lbs lighter than OEM, and the front are 3lbs lighter - those are pretty significant differences to me, especially 5lbs for each driven wheel.

I also ordered a set today. The discount pricing and $70 rebate card ends this weekend I believe.

Sounds like the kind of sizes I want to run! What wheels did you go with?

ForgeLine rims. 9.5x19 and 12x19. With the gun metal centers. It will take about 4 weeks before I see the rims tho.

Forgeline: Forgeline ZX3R Forged Aluminum 3-Piece Competition-Series Racing Wheel

Hopefully you get it ahead of the weekend so you can take advantage of the sale pricing.
