    I am going to put the 19" stock 430 wheels on my 360. I know the sizes should be 225/35/19
    and 285/35/19. Has anyone had experience using a 275/40 in the rear instead? The price is half! It also seems that Pirelli does not make the Pzero NERO in a 285/35. I am about to buy 225/35 NERO's for the front @ 165ea. So what are your opinions, other than I am being cheap?

    Mike- The 275/40 19s are about a half inch bigger in diameter than the 285/35 19s and a bit narrower, rim sizes should be 9-11" (yours are 10"), so should work fine. Not something I would do, but with the same tires F&R, loss of cornering and braking power should be about equal front and rear, so no problem and balance should not be affected too much. Differential between F&R from OEM tire diameters is only about 1.8%, so the ABS will work fine (problems start at 4-5% difference).
