I would try to stick to a similar part of the recommended wheel width range as you are running in the front.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

can i run 295's on the stock 5 star 18x10? my car came with 285's...how would this work out and how about the ride. I am afraid the tire is a little too wide for the 10" rim. Any input would be great. thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

There is a lot of variability among tire manufacturers/lines of tires. I have 285 Dunlops that are wider than 295 Pirellis. Check TireRack for the recommended wheel widths for a good reference. I would try to stick to a similar part of the recommended wheel width range as you are running in the front. Otherwise, the difference between a 285 and 295 is usually pretty small. Load ratings are probably more important.

POST 3Original post

I am going to run the 295's on mine. I have previously run 295's on the turbo technology rims with pirelli p zero (yellow) 140 compouds, however I had stock suspension. I will let you know thursday how it is all around 235/295 ps2's

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

car is a C2 996-02, not turbo or C4 or S I have brand new 295's which are really meant for 10.5 to 11 inch back, and i beleive the porsche stock 5 star is 10 inch. The car came with 285-30-18 Pirelli P zero rosso, i have had to change one rear at a time every 3000 miles, now i have my michelin tires from my other rims that i want to use. the fronts are perfect stock size, but the backs are 295 instead of the 285.... what do you guys think?

POST 6Original post

Again, compare the specs at TireRack. I don't know what Michelins you have, but likely they are stickier than the Rossos, so you may have more of a tendency towards understeer. If it's like my Boxster, though, fiddle with the tire pressures a little will get things back into shape. BTW, why do you have to change one rear at a time every 3K miles?

POST 7Original post

Find a GT3 owner that will lend you a 315. It looks like it would fit, but no guaranty. Matt Murray

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

seem to always wear out one tire at a time in the back....must be with the traction...the rosso are way to soft...
