what size tires will I need to buy? I know the rear I can put 305 correct me if im wrong?

But I have no clue about the front, and or what size the side walls need to be,

I also need to know whats a good brand, I would like a tire the is kinda the middle oft he road... I need a good street tire. Something that has good grip and will not wear out fast. Thanks in advance for your help :tiphat:

305-30-19 rear

Some manufacturers do not have a 265. In that case a 275-35-19 will also work.

Michelin PSS are a forum favorite.

I've heard good things about the Continental Extreme DW series, but I have yet to try them.

I'm going to try the Bridgestone S-04 Pole Positions next. A set of four 19s in 275/305 runs under $1K from Tire Rack :tup:

I'm not a fan of their soft sidewalls after driving a friend's Z with them for a few laps at COTA.

What are the offsets again? +23 all around?

And how much camber?

Wonka2581 04-15-2014 07:00 PM

My rims are a +22 offset, and no clue on camber...

I'm a fan of potenza RE11s! But horrible under rainy conditions...

I'll definitely look into it.
May swap them for street and use PPS04 for track. I really like them for the track so far.

What air pressure was your friend running? It makes a huge difference in feel and traction.

They are all a soft tire built for performance. When you step into this grade of tire, short life, compared to an all season type tire, is to be expected.

I understand, but I kinda would like something that will last at least 15,000 miles. If I can

RoadsterST 04-15-2014 11:05 PM

If you dont plan on any driving necessary of extreme grip, go with an all season performer. Much better life

Edit: just did a quick search and you're stuck with high performance in a 305...lol
