Tyre Choice For 19X10.5 +15

[PAV34]

Hi Guys,

Was hoping someone could clarify what would be an appropriate tyre choice for 19x10.5 +15 wheels on an R34 GTR?

I was thinking 285/30/19 would fit best without rubbing (correct me if I am wrong), but my preferred tyre choice (Yoko AD08) don't come in this size.

Could anyone recommend another similar high quality brand and model?

Cheers.

Nitto Invo or NT5 (semi slick) come in 275 35 19

• 34 GTR?

  I Have 285/35/19 and they rub at full lock

  If I was buying again I would go 275/30/19, this should be almost perfect on a 19 x 10.5 depending on tyre choice

Won't a 275 tyre look too stretched?

275/30/19 are stretched.

They are on my 10.5 anyways.

I'll be looking for 285/30/19. Lower profile than Noyz above to prevent rubbing.

Or even head towards 295 if I can fit them.

i had the same dramas deciding tyres on my 19s.. i went with nitto NT05 275/30s.. i had on before that 275/35 and they rubbed.. i believe 285 30 would probably still rub, but i could be wrong there, as the rolling dia is to large i believe...

i now have 18s and run 295 30 with no issues.

So according to the willtheyfit.com calculator, it shows that a 285/30 tyre would be closer to the correct rolling diameter?

Was thinking S-04 Potenza's if 285/30 was the go

Yea your right, but i was more talking about a too larger rolling dia for scrubbing with a wide tyre etc...

i had to sacrifice a little rolling dia to fit 295s, worth it imo..

not sure if anyone has tried 285/30 on 19s?.. if they fit that would obviously be the pick.

I had 30 profile because I knew that a 35 profile had changed the overall rolling diameter especially for 285/295's. Mine are pirelli p-zero corsa asimmetrico 275/30/19

For eg a 285/35/19 for 10.5 wide rim is 682.1mm whereas mine now is 647.6mm.

This is because I didn't want to roll my guards or cut anything inside my guard either and the fact that I want to at least manage 90% of a full lock with no rub too.

285/30/19 might be borderline in terms of fitment. Even with my size and profile, when I lowered my car (very low) it became much more difficult to be "friendly" driving it.

Since then, I'm going to raise it a bit and fit a nice big brake kit soon

Thanks for the feedback guys, maybe ill stick with the 275/30 to stay on the safe side.

Cheers.
