To me, it looks like you have a it of stretch in the rear and a bit of bulge in the front.

I would have gone a slightly slimmer tire vs a 305, maybe a 295 or 285 so the front / rear profile would match.

Or even wider in the rear like a 335 or 345 if it'd clear.
Those tires he has are fullsize, but a 335 can work.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

The pic is deceiving. The PSSs have huge rim protectors, that's why there's so much overhang. But the sidewall itself is actually stretched in person. Regardless, the GT350R has 19x11s with 305/30-19 Michelins in the front, so I wanted 19x11s with 305/30-19 Michelins on mine. :) If I change anything in the future, it'll be a move to R-compound tires since I don't daily drive the car anymore.

But if you'd like to order a set like this, I will make sure we use 295s on the front, if that's what you prefer.

I can see what you're saying. It looks like the rim protector on the front is larger than the rear. But hard to say in a picture vs. real life.

Thanks for the offer but I have a set of 6r's on 19x10/11.

Definitely not 'aggressive'. I wish I could find a 315/35/19 tire. Would have been perfect. 305/35 will have to do.

I agree the PSS is deceiving. In this picture the rear tire looks huge compared to my fronts. I believe this is because even on a 11 inch wheel the 315s are just slightly wider. While the 275s on the 9.5inch wheel fit perfectly. They're both 35 profile

Word. My current 295's(k1) are actually wider than my old 305's.

I got 275/35/20's front on a 10" rim. Personally I think it's perfect.


However the rear is Deceiving x3. The rim protector is massive and the sidewall is beefier than what I thought it would be. The 295/35/20 was only available
in a Porsche spec(NO) or a Ferrari spec(K1) and I went with the K1 as it was 3 lbs lighter and was a 1/2" wider in footprint(I know, sounds weird) but after
mounting them up I am wondering if I shoulda went with the thinner tire because I has some poke now. :frusty:


Right out of the gate thought these tires are way better than my old ones. I can't wait for a track day on them!

Thats definitely it. Yours look good though on an 11" rim. I'm just NOT stoked on how much poke I got now.

Camber has no effect on tire wear, that is toe angle which gets corrected through your alignment.
