Zzhou wroteWhat do you mean when you say they won't stick out like the PSS? It's hard to tell from the pics but it seems the AD08s are more square and 90 degree as you mentioned. I always thought the PSS would stretch in slightly.. I have no experience with either tire/size but I'm looking into PSS in that size so I was wondering.I use AD08 295/30/19 for my rear ZCP. went though 3 sets already, perfect looking and awesome grip on the track.

OhSoCal wroteFor me, I like the look of the 90 degree side wall. And I do drive this to the track. If your main use is for the street, go get pss， Ad08 sucks in the rainZzhou wroteWhat do you mean when you say they won't stick out like the PSS?

Next time I need a full set, I'll plan ahead and put fatter tires both in the front and in the rear.
I've been trying to find more info about running this size. I have Eibach springs and 15mm/12mm spacers at the moment. I love the stance of my car at the moment but not a fan of the stretched tyres! I would love to find a pic of a M3 running the 275/295 set up with Eibachs and no spacers so I can visualise what mine would look like. Would the wider tyres give the spacer look without needing them? If anyone on here has this set up please post some pics.
Is anyone running 295/30/19 in rear, with the factory 245/35/19 in the front? Any issues with the stability control system throwing codes because of the tire size change in the rear?

Try to stay with the factory stagger of 20mm........Phil
///M Ryder wroteI agree, I am running 255 front and it is not too bad. Need to get 275 fronts but also need wider wheels for that.Try to stay with the factory stagger of 20mm........Phil
kawasaki00 wroteI see..so 255/35 is perfect for OEM ZCP wheels with no spacers? If height is lowered with KW v3, would it rub?I agree, I am running 255 front and it is not too bad. Need to get 275 fronts but also need wider wheels for that.
Bimmer-M3 wroteI am lowered and run a 10mm Turner spacer with the zcp 9" wheel. No rubbing and that tire is made for a 9" wheel so you are good. Many folks run the tire but different cars will dictate spacer. I could probably run a 12 but tried a 15 and it rubbed really bad on the rear plastic liner.I see..so 255/35 is perfect for OEM ZCP wheels with no spacers?

Thread referenced by Gena the Crocodile in ESS-650 with ZCP 265/295 combo or any alternative? Help needed! 04-03-2016
ssabripo wroteIs this with Stock ZCP suspension?I have been running Michelin PSS 295/30 R19 on ZCP wheels for over a year, and never been happier... all the threads I read about not going above GTS, not having this, not having that, and I'm glad i just took the plunge.

Drives perfect and much more stable in aggressive curves or during an Apex at the track. No rubbing whatsoever, and the looks of a million bucks.
The fronts are 255's, but I'll be going to 265's soon, as I'm getting a little oversteer with them on aggressive turns.

A 10” wide wheel isn’t wide enough to provide proper support for a 295 tire. I have an 18x9.5et17 and 18x10et17 wheel setup and 275/285 staggered tire setup is consistently faster than a 275/295 staggered setup. I know because I’ve tried both tire setups. The 275/295 has snap oversteer at the limit while the 275/285 has progressive oversteer at the limit making it much easier to drive and control the car at the limit.

295 PS4S meats yum on 19x10.5" custom wheels from Canada for that perfectly square sidewall.
