370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

These tires/wheels on mine will not see the Dragstrip. At 10lbs heavier per each & being N/A for now...surly would be slower in 1/4 mile; just my cruising/mountain riding wheels.
They are smoother & quieter than my previous Nitto 555g2 or Goodyear F1 Eagles (245/45,275/40/18) on base wheels.
I've made a total of 9 passes in 1/4 mile over past 2.5 years (not much) but I am able to achieve 1.90's on my 60'.
Anticipating my 24,25mpg going away....as this was consistent every tank...but I love them so far; no complaints...may even encourage a gear swap to compensate/ no need for 200+ mph 3.357 diff.
The ride is amazing & handling,drive ability is much improved.
Was a bit leary of a 285/35 on a 10" wheel up-front...but really shocked me how well they feel.
Over next several weeks I'll post fuel mileage difference;as these larger diameter drive wheels have the speedometer dead on...so my 24,25'ish was being slightly fudged.
Have a great day...it's Friday!!!
