Help choosing tires for my NISMO
 

I'm debating between 265/285 and 265/305 for my '10 NISMO. I have Swift springs, 15mm spacers all around, and recently added a set of Stillen swaybars. I have participated in a couple track events (before adding the swaybars) and definitely experienced some understeer. I'm pretty much set on RE-11's and 265's up front but I'm not sure if the swaybars will let me get away with 305's in the rear or if I should still go 285 to try and get more neutral.

Thoughts?

Just to agree with you. I'm going with the 265/305 combo. I got a good deal on the 305($200 a piece) and now I'm trying to find the best price on the 265. Costco has the best price so far @$302

try current setting on the track with your swaybar, adjust swaybar setting as needed, and decide.

Wtf? What ghetto 305's are you getting for $200??? Lol


Hook us up!

Thanks for the replies.

My current tires are too low to do any good on the track so that's not an option. I was hoping to get some input from someone with Stillen swaybars, NISMO wheels, and either one of my possible tire combinations.

Thanks again.

You guys know that a 265/35/19 paired with a 305/30/19 yields a taller tire in the front right? (not much but still taller and different then stock spec)
265-35-19 total diameter is 26.4 inches
305-30-19 total diameter is 26.3 inches
vs stock
245-40-19 total diameter is 26.7
285-35-19 total diameter is 26.9 (Nismo)

255-35-19 is 26.1 inches
305-30-19 is 26.3
equaling a .2 inch difference which is EXACTlY the same as stock
