Thanks, but I can find those pics all over the interwebs, thats why I was asking for pics of a 35 series tire, but instead I get a lesson in tire diameter.

lol, 285/30 will fit just fine though. you should be the first to do it. i was going to fit 285/30 myself, i just couldnt find a matching front and rear brand/model tire that i liked.

Im looking at the Nitto Invos, My friend has them on his 09 Z06 Corvette and it rides and drives great, less road noise, decently priced

invos ride nicely, wear kinda fast and are a lil slick when cold so warm them up decently before getting into them

nitto invos have always been a popular choice among c6 z06 due to being compared to original run flats that came on them.

my friend just ordered nitto invo 245/35 285/30 on ebay for 650 plus 70 shipping brand new. will be in tomorrow. i believe the seller has one more of the same set. its a steal of a price. total weight of 4 tires are 120 lbs though. only downside to wide tires.

I'm running Michelin PSS…



v8sten… 35's won't work.. the car will look too tall.. I'm running on eibachs and and had a little fender work done… thats why it clears it. if i could go back to when i ordered my tires, i would probably have gone with 275 instead. little difference but makes a big difference on how the rim and tire looks IMO. idk about 285/30 w/o fender rolls…. but 285/35 is way out the question i think. good luck.

Michelin PSS are awesome tires, I have those on my Mustang. I do plan on rolling the fender lip. The reason why I want to see a pic is because the chance of a tire shop to have a 285/35ZR19 in stock to test fit is slim. I do love how ISFPOWER's car looks with the 275/35ZR19's. I like the taller tire to fill gap in the fenderwell, plus a little better ride with a taller sidewall.

No concern about scrub radius, roll couple, instant centers, roll axis? What kind of racing - straight line?

I would respectfully assume drag racing as well. Nobody planning on doing any course driving in their ISF would run those sizes.

Drag racing, this is my DD mainly going for looks, i know it will hurt the performance but the driving around these crappy roads in houston the extra side wall will help greatly, and i love the look of a fat, tall tire that fills in the fender well.

If i can find a shop that has some in stock, yes but that will be an issue due to it not being a common size apparently. hence this thread.

I had Nitto Invo's on my F and they were OK, nothing great. They had very soft side walls so there was a lot of sidewall flex, especially on a relatively heavy car like the F. Because of this handling was compromised. Also they just didn't have enough grip compared to the stock Bridgestones and now my Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Don't go cheap on tires. Remember the only thing touching the ground on your car are your tires, so you want to have the best quality tires you can possibly afford. I personally will never buy anything other than Michelins or Bridgestones for my cars again. Nittos are cheap for a reason.

Oh I agree completly. Michelins are far better than Nittos. Nittos are litterly around half as much as the Michelins though. I know you get what you pay for. Like I said earlier I have Michelins PSS on my Mustang but that car for sure needs them. I would love to get MPSS but its just not feasible right now. It had a problem in the rear suspension causing the right rear to wear extremely exissively. Way more than the normal wear. So I have to buy at least 2 tires right now for the rear very soon. I could get 2 PSS tires but why do that when i could get 4 new Nittos for around the same price.
