Hi Everyone,

First time poster, Long time lurker.

Love everything about my 07 M35S but the tires the stealership put on before I bought it. I swear they are louder than the 35's on my Titan. The tires are Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II in the stock size 245/40/19. I have been putting up with them for ~16K miles as they were new when I bought the M but I'm ready to make a change.


Here is what I'm looking for in a tire

Quiet
Performance all-season
Aggressive staggered setup on stock wheels without much tire bulge

F:255/35/19 R:285/35/19
Would these sizes work? or What size do you recommend?
Any pics of a 285 on a stock wheel?
What brand/model tire do you recommend?
I know the Conti DWS and Mich Pilot A/S are popular on this site.

Thanks in advance.

Would these sizes work on stock 19" sport wheels? or What size do you recommend?

i roll on the Conti's myself and I like them alot, they aren't as quite as the MIch but they so grip better than the mich's. It all depends on what you need really and what area you live in.

I found great deals online and compared them to Discount tires and they matched it. BTW never had a problem with them at all.

I would go with stock sizes as I am not really familiar with those sizes, but it sounds those sizes may throw off your speedometer. since its not the correct size for revolutions.

Thanks for the reply.

Trying to decide if the Mich's are worth the extra $$$$. I do value less noise to better handling. I believe any tire will handle better than what is on there.

Not to worried about the speedometer. I can adjust my actual speed in my head like I do on my truck.

i heard about the Nitto Motivo that came out recently that are suppose to be pretty good, not sure if you want to try them out at discount tires or not, i heard there is like a 30 day trial for them or something. Might want to take a look into those
