I think 295/35-19 is too big/wide for the rear...285/35-19 is better,but Michelin don't make this size.

According to Michelin's website the rim size range for a 295/35/19 is 10"-11.5" with a diameter of 27.1"

The 285/35/19 rim size range is 9.5"-11" with a diameter of 26.9".

Not much difference going from the 285 to the 295

Are fine with my base brake package. I have 255/35/19 and 295/30/19s . You could actually go to 305s on the rear if desired. The 295s look great and ride great.SAM_1154.JPG check out my album. Also my wheels are 9.5 and 11s, therefore anything less will have a slight stretch

In my PSS set I ran 255/19/35 and 295/19/35. On 9.5/10.5 wheels with sport package. They look great. A much better sidewall than say V12's or the stockers.

Looking at potentially running a 265 up front next set.

What mileage has one experienced with these tires on the 370Z?

Isn't that too much stagger? 40 mm difference is a lot I think. I always thought to try to keep it < 30mm. Your insight is appreciated, thanks.

I wanted to do a 265 in the front, but at the time I thought it would rub so I stayed away, and I looked at doing a 285 in the back, but they didn't make that size so I went with the 295.

Next set will be a 265/295 now that I know it won't rub.

So 295/35-19 will fit on the stock rear rays and not rub? I'm planning on dropping my car on swift specs if it makes a difference. Will the tire be too wide for the rays?

I am running 265/35 front and 305/30 rear on the TE37. I got them mounted a couple days ago. They look beefier than my old setup.

Maybe I'm lazy, but can't find the exact answer to this:

I'm in the market for new treads and looking at 285/35/19 or 305/30/19 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT for the rear with either 265/35/19 or 255/35/19 or 245/40/19 up front. I'm on stock 19" sport Rays with 20mm spacers front and 25mm rear and stock height.

Which would be the best set-up? I would like to keep the speedo as accurate as stock.

Thanks

285/35-19 rear will be the best tyre size for our Z,but PSS don't have this size.

Actually they do as this local tire seller has some. They are "sport" so I don't know if there is a difference between these and "Super Sport". These are what I'm considering:

285/35/19 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT

MICHELIN PILOT 305/30/19

265/35/19 MICHELIN PILOT
