Only thing to remember with moving to 275/35 is you have now changed your effective gearing over factory.....
Petes right. 18 is best for choice. If you want to improve your chances on road tyres go MPSS instead of the Bridgestones. The MPSS will be quicker. If you want stay 19 look at MPSC2 for R comps not sure if they have the sizes....

Some costs are already good. Last week I bought an IPhone and saved a heap with the GST refund. Unfortunately I can't take tyres as carry on luggage. I will check the cost though as it may still be worth it. Mind you with a full set of 17in Z221s, 2 spare Z221s and a couple of 214s it really should be Herman on the track pushing it.

Doug, I've dreamed of parity for the 30 years I've been following the markets. Certainly worth arbitraging costs at this level but I wouldn't bet in it getting much stronger.

Really? Same diameter specs just 10mm wider. Ie std are 265/35R19, these tyres 275/35R19. All other specs appear the same. Spec wise they fit the rims just fine too.

I've was earning AUD for 8 years till 12 months ago. To be perfectly honest there wasn't anything to spend it on in Australia other than Apple products. Everything else there seems pricy (not as expensive as NZ but not as cheap as USA & UK etc). All I ended up with was equities and their ASX200 has been crap the last few years save Bank stocks. If you find anything worth buying let me know as I still have some AUD :-(

From what I understand sidewall is measured factoring in tyre width, so a 265/35/19 isn't the same height as a 275/35/19, hence the OEM size for my car being F 235/35/19 and R 305/30/19. My incredibly accurate eyeometer tells me the profile of the tyres is very similar front to back... (This statement comes from little or no research so take it with a decent pinch of salt!).

Matters more on the 4wd cars (so I've learnt now that I own one, not keen on killing the differential). This is handy: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator

Just something to look forward to and I can see why a 944 makes sense if I want to get more track time. Especially if you can get one with a bit of track time and work done on it already. At the moment there is a couple for sale but of the 2.5 variety. Would like to get the big four.
And yes, I'm still lurking on this thread, adding to views...
