Anyone running these on rears on stock height? Wheels are 9.5".

Opportunity came up to buy a set and would love to hear your guys' thoughts. Thanks in advance!

I am Jeff

You need 275/30 for 19" wheels.

I'm not so sure. The 1/2 larger wheel (9.5 v. 9.0) may offset the effect of the higher aspect ratio (35 v. 30) and the setup will probably be problem free.

CarHopper

You want 275/30. I understand what you're saying SBC but I had 10.5's in the rear and still ran 275/30. The stretch really wont offset it (the way I believe you are implying) on a 9.5'' wheel.

OP -- If you can, get 275/30's.

275/35 are a taller tire than stock 26.6, slighter larger side wall. If u go with the size u will want ,245/40/19 up front which is 26.7. This is the setup I plan on running in summer to fill stock wheel gap and give more sidewall for potholes

I had them. They will rub. U need 275/30 or you can put up with rubbing on bumps (gets worse woth **** in the trunk - drove me nuts)

Thanks guys. Pss vs re11 thoughts at 275/30?

Thrilla

Both great tires. RE11 is stickier but won't last long. For a street car, PSS gets my vote.

Diabolis

PSS all the way. I have never had another tire that has consistently provided the level of grip that the PSS do, worn evenly and lasted as long as they have. Yes, the RE11s are a bit stickier at first, but you'll end up replacing them three times as often.

Thanks guys. I'm debating on the two and love the pss I have now. Guess I have no reason to change!

I dunno what happened with my car rubbing. MAYBE the estate is slightly different from sedan / coupe?

I tried KUMHO 275/30/19 [Rears] on a 9.5" / 48+ . Rubbed on the motorway over undulations. Also rubbed on general cornering, coming off speed bumps, etc.

Then i did Pirelli PZERO Silver 265/30/19 on 9.5" / +53. Same story. Rubbed on the motorway over undulations. Also rubbed on general cornering, coming off speed bumps, etc.

I had to go down to 255s on the rear - Pirelli PZERO (9.5" +53) and ZERO issues in all conditions.

From a cost perspective..any thoughts on nittos and fitment on 275 vs 265 compared to pss?

I am Jeff

Nitto's run narrower than PSS's. I have previously run 275 nitto invo's. If cost is a concern, they are a good option if you do a lot of burnouts or go through tires quickly. If you are concerned about treadwear and wet weather driving, look elsewhere.

Diabolis

Nitto = Toyo. Good bang for the buck but not quite the best there is. I can't comment on fitment, but the PSS run pretty wide so I would expect other brands in the same size to be equal or slighly narrower.

Thanks Guys! I will try to stick with some PSS. I prefer value to cost!
