REALLY! Hmmmm? I have seen 285's in person on a Z with 19" I-Forged and no modification needed.

 

Well the main reason why I needed it was because I'm dropped 1 inch.

 

What are people here inflating the tire pressure to? (245/35/10 & 275/35/19)

 

found t1-rs for about 170 a piece..

 

Where?

 

I use 39 psi all around only because that is what I found on here by searching a few topics related to tire pressure. It seems to run/handle well.

 

40 psi RELIGOUSLY!

 

I run Nissan recommended 35 psi in OEM sizes.

 

I can also vouch for the excellence of these tires. I just got them mounted and they have very good grip to the road. I was choosing between the T1-R and the BFG KDW2. I'm actually glad that I went with the toyos.

 

What do most of you think about the Nitto 555...I ordered them with my new rims...Didnt give too much thought to which was the best...Just remembered those being pretty good tires before..They have a thread wear of 300...The toyos sound too soft for me...Dont need the hassle of replacing tires twice or three times a year...Its not too late for me to change the tire order so any info from you spirited drivers would be appreciated...I dont track the car just very spirited street driving...

BTW any of you local NY'er know the Interboro Expressway[Jackie Robinson Expressway]? Ive been running those semi tight S turns for years in a number of cars....I did it in the Z this weekend and the tires squealed like a greased pig....Also felt floaty on transition. Couldnt go through as fast as I wanted as the behavior unnerved me..Is it that Im getting used to the Z[2months ownership] or are the stock tires ****ty....I personally think they are way too skinny.....Should have come with 265r and 245f imho and stickier compound...Wonder how it would handle if it came stock with the EVO oem rubber...

 

 

I just ordered some Toyo T1's from Les Schwab to go with my 18" Kazera Chrome Finish wheels I'm getting next week. I almost bought the ContiExtremeContacts, they were about $912 installed and they offered me the Toyos for $765.96 [$819.06 installed]. Do these specs sound good? My car is a daily driver about 60 miles a day, I don't race it around or burn out either, so I would really appreciate your input. Thanks guys!

Bump!

 

If you are getting the staggerred 8.5"/9.5" wheel widths, go with 245/40 and 275/40. They are closest to the stock overall diameter and you might as well go with wider rubber if the wheels can handle it.
