ekallus Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 When cleaning my wheels I just noticed that my 06 350Z (bought privately 2 weeks ago) is fitted with 225/45 Bridgestones front AND rear. Need to get that fixed soon I guess... Quote
karlh Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Generally the traction control system likes to see the rear tires about 2% larger in diameter than the fronts. However, I know several people who have driven their cars with no stagger. Are you seeing the traction control intervene as you drive? Quote
Durk Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 the guy I bought my car off had done exactly this! My traction control cuts in when I feel it really shouldn't, I had thought it was down to the tyres... Quote
Toothy Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Swap the backs for the correct size and keep them for spares when the fronts wear or get a puncture Edited February 12, 2015 by Toothy 2 Quote

Only comes on when being over-enthusiastic on damp roads. Quote
Piranha Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I have the same on mine with no TC issues Quote
lolzz Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 +1. I understand how traction control could intervene due to (no) difference in tire circumference, I just don't get why some people have problem with that and some don't. Could it be Z's are programmed differently? That would be odd.. Quote
