I second this also. Decided to take the Z out when it was raining hard. I must say the DWS handled it pretty well. I saw a couple of cars hydroplaned that day.

Hmm i was thinking of upping the size to 265 in front 305 in rear,

Dont think the conti DW carry that size,

And its a good 400-500 cheaper than any other decent set i can find.

Decisions....

And thanks for the response guys

unless you really need that kind of traction, i would stick with 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 sizes. they are already big enough for a 330+hp crank car.

I bought this set from a local/fellow forum member. So technically I had no choice on size but they were cheap used tires. The lower sidewall creates some gap space with my Z on swift springs which is why I'm going 305 in the rears next to minimize that gap. My rears are 19x11. I'm still sticking with 30 sidewall since it did not cause any issues with my Z for casual daily driving. However thats one side of the story, I never tried 40 fronts and 35 rears for sidewalls.
