I am in the process of buying a good all season set for my nismo and was thinking of thinking of trying 255/40ZR18 fronts and 285/35ZR19 rears with Continental DWS. I have searched the forums and read reviews and I am torn between the DWS and DW. Has anyone ran this set up or a similar one on their nismo? Would there be any problems with the traction control with this setup? Any suggestions on setups, brands would be greatly appreciated.

 

The "S" is for "snow." Do you intend to drive in snow?

 

Front tire is taller than rear.

BTW I find it interesting that NISMO owners post tire threads in the NISMO forum instead of the tire forum. I know that the NISMO is unique - but tires is tires.

 

^ 19" rears

 

wow davidv made a mistake. never thought I would live to see the day

 

Difference in circumference is 3.1 percent. Perfect.

 

Hmm not sure what I would recommend for Nismo 513...but for 512 and 514, I would tell those owners that I love my DW tires.

Lol I know!

 

What are you doing getting those tires for in this area? Bad weather lasts 1 day at most, the next day streets are snow and slush free don't waste your money. Get some high performance tires for the 362 other days and enjoy your car for what it was made for!
Kind of like some of us find it interesting that a 370z owner would post in the Nismo section. The Nismo is unique,obviously something you are not getting!

 

I'd have 100 more posts if I corrected all his mistakes!!!!

 

Just by reading the title, I was going to recommend the DW or DWS if you drive in any snow. I'd opt for a different tire for the Nismo, but hard to beat the price on the DW. I have a set on a different car and am pretty happy with them.

Oh and did davidv make a mistake. I must not have noticed since he's on my ignore list

 

Thank you everyone for the information and thoughts. I am in the military and will soon be changing living locations so I was going to go with the DWS for daily driving and for dealing with light snow if the weather turns to that direction. Will 255/40/18 fronts and 285/35/19 rears have any rubbing problems with the stock nismos supsension? I do not have any plans in the near future to lower the car.
