only options I can find on the calculator are 295/35 but that's such a minuscule difference and there more expensive or 325/30 and those look like they would be amazing but I don't think it will work in the 10.5 rear nismo wheels...
any thoughts aside from new wheels cuz that won't be for awhile.

I plan on using PSS tires

pretty sure 315s work on nismo wheels. maybe 325 at most. someone else can confirm that.

305s fit damn good on my oem sport wheels.

came in handy this past weekend at zdayz when running the dragon and all the nonsense roads down there lol

Oh 325/30R19s fit just fine on stock Nismo 10.5" wheels

Check out my thread on that exact subject:

Why you should use these tires with NISMO Wheels: 285/35R19 (F), 325/30R19 (R)

nice man, won't work for me tho I'm lowered and I have 15mm spacers

[RBfastback]

can only get 315 in drag tires.

Tire rack shows the 305/30/19 Super Sport tires to be 12.1" wide (307mm) and 26.3" tall.

It shows the 295/35/19 Super Sport tires to be 11.9" wide (302mm) and 27.1" tall.

width is almost the same but wouldn't there be more acceleration traction with the 295 because of the taller sidewall and only a 5mm difference in width?

in theory im sure but i'd say find some test results lol

but at that point it's splitting hairs. i'm also a fan of RE-11's over PSS's anymore after I realized how much stiffer the sidewall on the re-11s are.

yeah I know, I'm always splitting hair's on my hobbies lol.

but for me the pss is a better choice right now because it's my dd and more of a well rounded tire also better in rain. I live in sw fl so rain is almost an every day thing in summer.
once it's not a dd I may switch to the re-11s they look like a much better track tire

I DD on RE-11 and they are better in rain under regular driving I've found personally. and although Florida gets a good bit of rain I think last years stats PA had more lol my finace is from FL and bitches above the rain here. that's when you know it's bad.

also in these sizes 265/305 they have worn much better than 245/275 PSS which the inside 3" disintegrated on me at 12k miles.

I had about 14k on my re-11's I just took off and the rears were still above the wear bar a bit and the fronts were still at 7.5/32nds and they come new at 9/32.

ocd though and I changed all 4 for the dragon lol

ok so I've decided since I'm curious and the math seems right I'm going to try the 295/35/19.
I know there's no test I can to to confirm except my own perception an math but what the heck why not..rear tires only last a year to me anyway so I'm gonna give them a try.
