370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

[RBfastback]

sorry guys scratch that, just called tire rack to order them ant to talk to someone who knows a lot about it and it seems those tires are worthless..
they may be 305 from sidewall to sidewall but the tread width/contact pach is less then that of a 285.
they were designed for domestic retardizm... basically only for looks with slim contact patch and big puffy round sidewall for a more aggresssive muscle car look.
now they are taller if u want they would be a great drag/dig launching trackion tire but if that's what ur looking for there are MUCH better options then this.

I'm going with the re-11 but not in 305, the 285/35/19 is better for what I'm looking for. I don't want to loose the overall diameter (longer contact patch) going to the 305/30. I don't track an if I do it will be 1-2 times a year so a wider shorter contact patch of the 305 will actually loose traction from dig or strait line.
that's just me tho, if I could afford it I would get the ad08r but I'd go through them to fast and it's not to cost effective for me..

if all you want is straight line dig traction then just get a spare set or rear wheel and drag radials for when you do that.

that is my plan for next year. just a drag setup to play with.

Go with the RE-11's. Your a stock Nismo right? If so, 285/35/19's for the front and 325/30/19's for the back. You won't regret it. Thread on here about this setup.


Now this is a meaty tire thread.


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