I always loved the way ectsas fit on the proper sized wheel, flat sidewall and sharp square edges.

lgear: 315 rear is beast, but the tire is so wide it looks flat. Hows the handling?

There is more lateral flex in the sidewalls with a pinched tire compared to a square or stretched tire. This can negatively affect turn in and handling feel. If you don't track/autocross your car, then you would probably never know the difference.

The exception is the R-compoud tires like Hoosier A6 and Kumho V710. They have much stiffer sidewalls and the part of the tire that creates the bead with the wheel is actually inset compared to street tires. This allows people to stuff wide tires on skinny wheels without the same negative effects on handling as street tires.

I had to try the sizing out. Basically stole the tires.

We max pulled the fenders. It "fits" ... Kinda.

I'm just foolin around, but like it.

It looks very interesting in concert with the whole car.

The drive quality is excellent.

I agree that 335 is very wide for a 10.5 wheel, but I bet it looks badass. We need booty shots!

My thoughts exactly. This thread needs a "Post specs or GTFO" rule.

You have anymore comparison shots? Even though it's cool and all I don't see why anyone would run skinny tires on a Z! The car does become less nimble, anti-driftable...but I'd take fat tire setup for a mountain run....sliding off a mountain isn't cool.

MOAR

Of the RED Z too

moaR everything

Even of fat tires stacked on fat tires!
