They never made a 275/35, only a 275/30. Perhaps you're confusing it with the RE50A stock tires?

The rolling diameter is pretty close anyways. I have them as my front tires.

Thanks for the update. Your Album showing the RE-11 tires says your front tires are 275/35/19 so I thought what gives why would Bridgestone stop selling this size.

Your car looks great and seems to be stock height. Did you find the front tires to gap alot more the the RE050A 245/40/19?

Thanks again for responding!

Oops! That was a typo, the front tire is definitely 275/30R19, I just ran out and checked it. The rear is 305/30R19.

What do you mean by gap? Are you referring to the gap between the tire and the fender or something else?

Yeah the gap between the tire and the fender on the front, but looking at your car it does not look to be too much.

The RE-11 tires are getting good reviews; do find them to grip a lot better then stock tires? I am looking for more grip and more width, might as well take advantage of the wide Stock wheel sizes. Looking at the charts at Bridgestone the stock tires should be mounted on an 8.5 inch wheel for the front and 9.5 for the rear. Plus the side walls on these tires are stiff enough no need to stretch the tires over the wheel.
