So I'm planning to replace my tires and considering the toyos R888. I know the life time of these tires is short, around 5000-8000 miles.

What I'm wondering is, how good are they on a road course track?

I have 19" wheels in 9.5/10.5 setup, I'm considering the 295/30/19 in the rear (my fenders are rolled) but not sure which size I should go for up front. Toyo offer only 235/35/19 and 265/30/19, which of these I should go for to compliment the rear tire size?

You will NOT be disappointed with the R888.

If you're using them for a road course primarily I would recommend the 265 for the front

Thanks for the input Driven and dubi.

Actually I use the Z mostly on the road (its my weekend warrior) and planning to go for occasional track days and autocross. Saying that, am I good with the 265 up front?

go with the 305's in the rear. they work just fine with 10.5 wheels.

I have +19 offset in the rear and dropped about 1.2". do you think 305 would fit with no major fender cutting?

+1 on 265/295

Probably not...how much camber?

305 will be REAL tight with a +19. It may require a little pulling.

I can get it on my 20x11 with a 0 offset but it's close.

Negative. And I agree with the 265 front. They are a good all-around tire. Not the best for autox nor track, but good for both.

you wont get 5-8000 with many track days. They start almost bald at 6/32

Any other specific brand you recommend that comes in 19" and is good for both the track and street?

No, the R888 is a perfect balance. It's what I'd do if I didn't have 3 other sets just for different types of performance events, and it's what I run on my high HP 300ZX TT because I hate the feeling of the sloppy drag radials in the back while I'm on the highway, so I switched to the R888s.
