Any problems with 345 rears and 275 fronts?
Hello all! I am looking at a used wheel/tire combo with the following sizes:
Fronts: 275/35/18's (wheels: 18X9.5)
Rears: 345/30/19's (wheels: 19X12)
I am pretty new to tires and was wondering if this will cause any problems on my 2006 Z06.
Also, if the tires are not runflat, do they need to have the TPMS sensors? Thank you all for the advise!

I am running 275/345's with no problems. Do you have the sensor programming tool? I bought one from Tire Rack and it made it very easy to synch them to the car. I don't think you can do it without the tool.

I have 345/19/30's and 295/18/35's Michelin's on stock rims and I have never had any problems. The revolutions per mile for a 345/30/19 tire are about 764, for a 295/35/18 about 797 and for a 275/35/18 815. As you can see the 345 is much closer to a 295.

Thanks for the replies, keep them coming! I saw this TPMS trigger device on tirerack.

Is this what people are using? Anything else that is recommended? Thanks!

That is a huge discrepancy.
may cause high speed under-steer. ie car wont turn very well
Keeping the front and rear tires close to each other in width works for best handling.
for a 275 in front a 305 to 315 would be a good choice
for 345 in back a 315 in the front.
a 335 in the back and 305 to 315 in front
Big meats look great in back, but handling can be compromised.
Good Luck

I've been running 275/18 fronts and 345/19 rears for years now with no problems. The occasional "Drag Control" message is all but that's not a problem, just a notification.
