Well if they arent making a hissing noise (ie the little warning tab) you should be fine for a minute...Might wana just put a little brake fluid in the reservoir to get the light to turn of...just dont top it off so you have to take alot out when you DO change your brakes lol

Default any opinions?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has ran square tire set up on the street as their DD. I am going to be running a 245 40r18 on 10.5 all around and don't want to have issues with the abs and vdc. I have searched but haven't found a definite answer so I thought is ask you guys. Thanks

245/40/18 on a 10.5 is a lame size but you'll be fine.

Why is it lame? I don't want a fat tire. The other size I was thinking about was 265 35 18 but I don't want to create any gap. What size do you suggest?

A 245/40 is .47 taller then a 265/35, not that big of a gap so I'd just go with a 265/35

I'm running a square setup for wheels but I haven't installed a square setup of tires yet since
I haven't been able to find a spare set of good 265 35 18's (used)...I don't see why you would have a problem
anyways tho..

Yea I was thinking about bumping up to that tire size just cause I wouldn't mind some extra ground clearance without having to raise the car lol..

That and cause I have a nearly brand new set of geforce kdw2's off my maxima in that size f/r that I wanted to test fit...I figured that could be a cool lookin "stretch"

i was quite happy with the 235/40 front and 265/35 rear setup i had for a while. but i had 9.5's up front. i imagine a 245/50 front and 275/35 rear setup would feel fairly similar.

Not sure if you figured out what was going on with your Z but I found out my cam sensors were going out. I just replaced them myself today. Problem solved
