what's VTC? lol
anyway, you can run 275's fine. I run 255/40/18 and 275/40/18, Sumitomo HTRZ-III's and am very happy. They don't have as much wet traction, but in Tire Rack's test, they came first, ahead of RE50's and are wayyyyyy cheaper.

I run on Toyo T1R's 245/30/19 X 275/35/19, these tires are loud imo~ The grip ain't bad when you heat em up a bit~ Check out Yokohama's AD08 if you're looking for some really gd stuff~

Default tires...

for tire size issues the 275/30 will be too small. you will need to go to 275/35 for a better match.


i run falken 452's seem to be good for the money.

245/45/18 = 220$ cdn.
275/35/19 = 290$ installed locally.

The hankook ventus? Let us know how you like them, even though my PS2s only have a few thousand miles on them and 90% plus tread, I will be trying those next unless something else comes out because from everyone I know who has run them, they are quite satisfied for a fraction of the price. I haven't driven a Z with them on however, in for review!
