Why you should use these tires with NISMO Wheels: 285/35R19 (F), 325/30R19 (R)

2015nismo · 08-18-2015, 03:09 PM

As soon as my stock tires need replacement, I'm opting for 285's in front and 325's in rear. A friend of mine has 285 Corvette spec tires in the rear with a 15mm spacer on them. It looks really good.

Got some lowering room.

I just placed an order for 325-30-19 Potenza RE11. I will put my rear Potenza S001 on the front. Hopefully they will work well together!

The RE-11's have a ton of grip so be expecting some under steer.

I can manage under steer, I used to autoX FWD.

thanks for everything you've posted, I'm a newb here and I'm doing my research for new shoes for my 2014 Z. Stock Potenzas have 27k K on them and its time to upgrade. I'm in Dubai, so I have to research everything I need then order it. your post helped a lot!

I was content with just buying 245/285 Bridgestone S-04 PP, but it's not that much more for 285/305.

Get the RE11's. Much better grip.

What do you guys think about RE-11 285 or 275 with 305s? I have new 305s in the rear and will need front tires soon!

If you are going back to Deals Gap. Get the biggest tires that will fit in the front.

LOL, you know it brother...she goes in a straight line here most of the time as there are not many twisties around here. I am planning on doing my first couple of track days before ZDAYZ. I got to stretch her legs...285s will square her up some and take some of the push out I would presume, but I'm over 600whp now, so we will see!

Spooler · 09-16-2015, 07:11 AM

Go 285/35 on the front. You can always change the rear out to 325's when you wear your 305's out.
