275-35-19's anybody?

[Nocturnal'14]

Anyone running a 275/35-19 tire all the way around in a lowered Coyote? If so please post pics and specs thank you!!

I'm trying to decide if I want to stick with a staggered setup or go square. I'm currently on 255-40 & 285-35 setup

My car on Hankooks V12's 275/35-19 square. Recently out Nitto NT555 G2's on, same size. Car is lowered on Ground Control coilovers. Absolutely zero rub at this height.

Do you feel the 275 is enough tread in the rear?
Do you feel that 275 is Too much in the front?

I had this setup previously and my answer would be

NO.
NO.

Personally, I think these cars need all the tire they can get, They are big and heavy and can really benift from the mechanical grip of more tire. With that said, bigger front tires tend to follow the grooves more and do not track very straight on the street (a really good alignment can negate this). As far as fitment it all depends on the wheels and how low you are. I had a little rub with the 27.3 tall 265/40 but nothing an extra .02 of camber didnt fix.

It's fine for what I use the car for. Commuting. If you're racing then theres defenitley better options.

You'll be fine, I have 285/35 mickey thompsons on my front 19x9.5 rtr rims. It's lowered on steeda ultra lite springs, no rubbing

I am on 275/40 square MPSS and lowered 1.5". I don't like having less sidewall than stock so that's why I went with the 40 series. They also happen to fill in the wheel wells much nicer.
I have never had any issues with rubbing and I think 275s are great up front. As long as you have good alignment you shouldn't get much tramlining unless you're on awful roads. I plan on going 285/35 square on my next set with new 10" wide wheels.
I will say that I think wheel size is important. 275s will feel much tighter (better) on a 9.5 or 10 inch wide wheel than they will on something smaller.

not a fan of big sidewalls so i went with the 35 series tire. i personally think it looks great. also don't mid how filthy the car is.

Thanks for this post. I am looking into my first set of replacement tires. Will the 275/35/19 fit onto the stock 19 inch rims?

Do you have 9" brembo wheels? Those are really the only factory 5.0 wheel you should be putting 275's on. Anything else is just too narrow of a wheel to fit 275s on.

But to the OP, my recommendation is if you're car is not that lowered, putting 275/35/19s will only greater the amount of wheel gap you have, but there will be less sidewall flex than a taller tire. Just for reference, my buddy has a 14 5.0 with Koni yellows and eibach prokit with 275/35/19s all around and the wheel gap is almost as bad as it was stock, like 3 and half fingers where before when he was on the stock 255/40s it was only like 2 and a half fingers. Me personally, I have 275/40s all the way around on my factory brembo wheels and there is almost 0 wheel gap, maybe like a finger and a half with my car on eibach sportline springs. It really fills out the wheel wells nicely, plus a little extra sidewall for rougher bumps and what not.

Thanks guys! I'm not worried about rubbing although I am lowered 1.5" F&R. Which answered the gender gap question too.
I'm mainly looking because I'm planning on doing a summer only setup since I don't drive it much in the winter.
Going with a set of RE-71R's for spirited street and Autocross driving.

Being able to rotate them isn't too much an issue either, there's always a way to swap the tires even staggered.
A lot of guys like squared for the track and staggered for Street.

My main concern is having enough tread out back and too much up front if I go 275's all around.
