I am looking for new tires,

I have stock 19" with Project kics spacers (15mm, 20mm), stock '05 sports suspension

i love these tires but there r no exact stock fitments for both front and rear tires so i was wondering if these sizes will fit the stock 19"



FRONT:

225/35 YR19
88Y XL
7.5-9" (rim width range)
8" (meas. rim width)

235/35 YR19
91Y XL
8-9.5" (rim width range)
8.5" (meas. rim width)


REAR:
245/35 YR19
93Y XL
8-9.5" (rim width range)
8.5" (meas. rim width)

245/40 YR19
98Y XL
8-9.5" (rim width range)
8.5" (meas. rim width)

255/35 YR19
96Y XL
8.5-10" (rim width range)
9" (meas. rim width)



any recommendations?


ALSO, for those who read Car and Driver's article on "The Best Performance Tires", UTQG tread-wear grade, higher is better right?
because this tire had the higher number and our potenza had the lowest number.

 

I have had these tires on my car for 15k.

1 word - HEAVY.

I now have the very light contisportcontact2s and I like them very much.

 

I too am interested in the Different Sizes as I want to upgrade my Stock Tires on my 05 Coupe 6MT.

I've been looking towards some BFGoodrich KDW-2's.

Any other opinions??

 

I have 245/35/19 on front and 275/35/19 on rear - stock 19's on my 05 coupe...Michelin SP2's...quiet - lots of traction wet and dry - love them bunches!

ISMSOLUTIONS:
r u saying those wide PS2 tires u got fit the stock 19" rims?
any uneven wear or any problems?

also, using 35 series tires will make the speedometer a bit off correct? anyway to correct that?



thanks for all the feedback,

 

blackonblackG:
wut sizes were those eagle F1 tires? on wut size of rims?

contisportcontact2 is a lighter tire even compare to the potenza..

 

They fit perfectly - no speedo hit, well about 2 MPH, wear is perfect - and the added 1 1/4" of tread works very well too!

Lou - if your out there - i know you'll chime in too. There is a difference of opinion out there for safety and what not - for 'tire bulge' etc - this topic has been talked about a bit on the board - search under my handle for '275' and you'll see pics and the rest...

PICS??

 

For what its worth I have these tires and think they're the best tires I've ever driven on. I have them on 19" Nismos so weight isnt really an issue. Cornering is better and road noise is reduced.

 

Those numbers are only relative WITHING the same BRAND of tire. You can't use them to compare two DIFFERENT brands of tires.

 

See my 2nd post = search for them...

 

Much discussed:
https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/92766-tires-oem-19-wheels-cost-effective-alternatives-re050a-ps2.html

 

I had them on my sedan 245/45/18 all around (same as stock rear 18" coupe). they were 29lbs each. My current contis in 245/40 18 are 23lbs each. Mounted on light weight 18 by 8 " rims.

 

can other people confirm this?
because our potenza is only rated 140
but the those eagle f1 is 280..

 

that is without a doubt correct. they are only used to compare within the certain brand
