DPL8 · 03-24-2015, 04:54 PM

Hello i am considering getting new tires but not quite sure what tire sizes to get in order to run Pilot Super Sports? any other alternatives would be appreciated

You could run a couple of different setups.

Fronts- 285/35/20 and rears- 295/35/20
or
Fronts- 285/35/20 and rears- 315/35/20
or
Fronts- 295/35/20 and rears- 315/35/20, this is what most people runs on our cars.

I run the later option on my car but I may try the 285's on the front at some time.
I hope this helps you on your decision.

When I bought mine last year from tirerack, they didn't list the PSS in the stock sizes, so I went with 295's/315's and I love them.

ZL1Reaper · 03-25-2015, 06:16 PM

No rub on the 315s?

RLHMARINES · 03-25-2015, 06:33 PM

None, but I'm not lowered either, stock ride height.

Stoneb1 · 03-25-2015, 09:26 PM

295's up front and 315's rear - no rubbing issues and I'm dropped about 1".

CHMuscleCamaro · 03-26-2015, 10:58 AM

and why not 275/35/20 in front and 295/35/20 in the back ?
so is the relation the same like in stock size

What size rim are you quoting these tire sizes for? 315 on stock rim seem a little wide, its gonna stretch quite a bit.

This is posted in a ZL1 forum. ZL1's have 10" on the front and 11" on the rear.

Stock rears for a ZL1 are 305's. 315's fit just fine on the ZL1 rims.

Im sorry, I thought I was in the SS forum,

fits just fine on those.

315s in the back are probably a good choice for looks and performance. I am going to have to try it.

Looks for sure, but not sure what performance advantage they would have over 305's. Maybe a little benefit on the strip(if weight does not discount that), but negative impact on the track due to an ever more staggered setup.

ZL1Reaper · 03-27-2015, 09:31 AM

Yep. That's what I don't know. I wonder how much more grip it would have, compared with 305s. I assume a little more depending on the tire compound.

I have tracked the stock Goodyear's and a 285/35/20 and 315/35/20 PSS setup on my car with the APEX / Pfadt springs on it. No rubbing and no issues. The PSS is by far the superior tire and the grip is much better than the GY. The GY to me took too long to warm up and for my driving didn't grip as good as the PSS do in general. Wet traction is 10x better on the PSS than the GY. When I have to replace the tires again, I will probably try the 295/35/20 on the front.

Also, at the drag strip (only took it once on the GY and once on the PSS) I was able to pull 1.9 60 ft on the PSS and the best I could manage on the GY was a 2.1.
