Like I said, 265/35/18 or 275/35/18.

The Z3 does not launch well but hey, its a 300utg tire.

Those tires don't look right. I'd go bigger.

EDIT:, yeah wrong choice. That's 0.6" difference, to much in my book. Keep it under 0.5".

Safely you can go 20% over your width of the wheel. I'd go 245/275 unless you want more square for performance, then maybe a 255 or 265 rear tire. But 245 is max on the front and 275 max on the rear.

I'd get a 245/40/18, 265/35/18 or 275/35/18.

I got the size you recommended and installed over the weekend, thanks so much for your input. Drives like a new car again!

ive not driven the HTR Z3 so can't tell, and at those widths even DW's arent going to stick very well.

hahaha

just to let you know, i had tirerack install new S04's a couple of weeks ago in 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 sizes on my G's new CV201's... and with labor and tax included, only came out to 946. and i get a 50 gift card from bridgestone, so i pay 896.

on a serious note, s-04's are really nice! massively improved ride quality and performance on my mom's Scion TC. would definitely consider on the Z

kenchan · 12-17-2013, 02:06 PM

yep, just make sure to get the 285/35/19 or wider. for some reason their 275/35/19 size is narrow. good for hella flusha toilet crowd, but not for me.

I would get the same thing I have now.

265/35/19 Front
295/30/19 Rears, or drop to 285s in the rear for less stagger. But the 295 sidewall on the PSS is soooo nice on a 10.5 wheel.

are you lowered? cause 265/35/19 is going to emphasize major wheel gap. so is 295/30...
