I bought my car used with 6,450 miles on the clock and it had 285/35/18 Pirelli P-Zeros on it.

Suggestion
They are going to have to be replaced every 1-2 years, so why pay high rates if you can find a tire that performs similar to the expensive ones.

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.

And if so are you having any issues? I have been given a pair of Michelin Pilot Sports in pristine condition and would hate not to use them. Next to some old Bridgestone RE730's I have that are 265/30/18 there is barely a discernable difference. The Michelin's are very slightly taller.
Thanks in advance!
285/35/18 tires are/were an optional tire size available on the '04 996. I bought my car used with 6,450 miles on the clock and it had 285/35/18 Pirelli P-Zeros on it. No negative issues about the tire size.
Hey Tim,
Are you sure they were 35's and not 30's? I have heard that the 285/30/18's were an option on later 996's. But the 35's are slightly taller. I just want to make sure because I have heard stories about the ABS light coming on etc...
Thanks!
On 18" wheels (8" wide front and 10" wide rear), I believe 235 front and 295 rear tire treadwidth is about as wide you would want to go on a C2. However, different wheel widths and offsets would impact the firment. Below are two links, one for calculating relative wheel widths and offsets and the other for calculating tire sizes.

My '04 C2 came with eh following wheel/tire sizes:
Front
Wheels - 18" x 8" with 50mm offset
Tires - 225/40/18
Rear
Wheels - 18" x 10" with 50mm offset
Tires - 285/30/18
I am running 285.35.18 Sumitomo's on my Champion RG-5 wheels.
Great tires at a great price!
Fro...so yours are 35's and not 30's? Any issues? They look good!
The Sumi's are great tires - no issues at all.
The tread design is very similar to the Goodyears I had previously.
Also got a great price on them from Tire rack!
I guess I need to clarify my question. I am asking about the sidewall. The normal sidewall for a 285 section width 18 inch 996 rear tire would be a 30 to equal stock(285/
30/
18). I am asking if anyone is running a 285/
35
/18. Which means they are a bit talle (.5 inch) or have a larger diameter than stock. If you are running this size are you having any issues with ABS lights and other stuff like that.
Thanks again...
My Sumitomo's are only available in the 285/35/18 size, so I really did not have a choice.
As stated earlier, no issues. I look at tires as non-permanent equipment. They are going to have to be replaced every 1-2 years, so why pay high rates if you can find a tire that performs similar to the expensive ones.
