I've been SCOURING the boards looking for answers to what kind of tires to get for my 2005 G35 6MT. Tirerack seems to be the way to go, even though they ain't got shait in stock..... I'm in hawaii and discount tire and TDL? or something like that charge almost 3 times the amount for shipping that tirerack does.....

Is it better to do the 225/40/19 and 245/45/19's staggered OR

245/40/19 all around?

Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate it. The road noise from my stock tires are freaking killing me! But on the bright side I got almost 21K miles out of them.

 

why wouldn't you use a 245/40/19 in the rear?

 

^+1

but anyway i have 245/40/19 front and rear on my stock 19's with no problems at all...

 

Phat! Thanks for replying man! hmm maybe 245's all around are in my future afterall...

 

stocks came w/245/45/19's in the rear

 

I would recommend 245/35/19 front and 245/40/19 rear is you want to run the same widths all around. There is no point in running the same sized tires all around anyways because you can't rotate due to the different wheel widths front and rear. The VDC can also have issues with changing the stock height stagger

 

Stock is 245/40/19, not 245/45/19

 

really? stock for you, maybe stock in hawaii is different. I didn't change my tires, and thats how they is....

 

It is the same everywhere

What he said.

And yes, the stock tires sizes are the same regardless of location. 245/40/19 in the rear.

 

From what I read, if you keep the stagger within 5%, you "should" be okay. Or what ever % diff the oem stagger is, that should be maintained.

 

why are you guys telling me what stock is? Did my dealer change the tires after he got the car in? seriously.....

 

Then the dealer put on the wrong sized tire for the front.

 

Yeah stock is 225/40/19 front and 245/40/19 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE050A.

What tires do you have?

 

245/35/19 and 255/40/19 here. No problems although my rears are pretty tall compared to fronts
