Message Hi! I have a '95TT that's all stock except for struts (no longer adjustable), muffler, and wheels, and I'm trying to figure out what tire sizes to get. I've spent a few fruitless hours reading up in forums and guides, so I'm hoping someone can help.

The wheels are Enkei Bortex RPM2 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +38 offset.

I bought this car with Potenza RE760 225/40 on the front and Potenza S-04 255/35 on the back (weird, I know--guess the previous owner wanted to save a few bucks).

The owner before that had 235/40 and 265/35 Toyo Proxes T1s, and also 225/35 and 245/35s. Before that it had 235/45 and 285/40 Nitto NT555s.

When I go on TireRack.com, where I've bought tires in the past, the recommended combo is 245/40 and 275/35 across the board. With so many different tire size combinations on this vehicle, and knowing very little about all this, I'm pretty baffled. The 300zx wheel fitment guide wasn't much help, recommending only 285 in back.

I do city driving in San Francisco plus some twisty roads and highway. It's possible I'll do a little autocross here or there, but don't need anything extreme/specialized. I'm probably looking to get the S-04's again, or RE760 if my budget's too tight. I'll be grateful for any guidance/advice you can provide!
