I’ve received a few questions from members via PM’s asking if 245/45-18” all-square works with VDC-equipped cars.

My reply is that it does work with a VDC-equipped Z. I’ve run all-square summer-performance tires (245/45-18”) and all-square studless snow tires (225-55-17”) on my VDC-equipped Z with no problems.

What does not work with VDC-equipped Z-cars is 245/40-18” all-square or 225/50-17” all-square.

The best solution (for near stock dimensions) is 245/40-18” front with 245/45-18” rear, or 225/50-17” front and 225/55-17” rear (or 235/50-17” rear).

I’m creating this thread to avoid confusion on this point.

Of course, people preferring wider tires will suggest different sizing (i.e., 245/40-18” front and 275/40-18” rear, or 245/35-19” front and 275/35-19” rear, or whatever… and maybe much wider... whci of course works as long as the overall diamter matches the requirements for tire sizing on a VDC-equipped Z).
