Thanx Bowtie, I noticed (later) they (Discount) are selling them on Ebay, but they weren't on their website when I checked. I generally like having Discount handle my tires, they seem like a good operation, and will usually meet any other price.

discounttiredirect on ebay often has specials that are well worth waiting for.

I bought my set of NT01's for 40% off + free shipping from them.

Do they do it on their site too? Or just eBay? I'm thinking about getting 265/35/20s for the front of my car.

Is there a benefit in going the 35 height in front, with 30 in back, as opposed to 30/30? Just wondering. . .

Tire hight differences are closer to stock that way, just what I'm doing. Not to sure there is a benefit, doing it just cause.

Personally I'd stick with 30.

The original tires are .1 off and so are the 35s while the 30s are .9 off. Those measurements are from a generic tire and probably a little off but either way the 35 hight difference is much closer to stock.

The tire height differences are pretty much the same either way. The 275-35 creates a .4 stagger with the rear being shorter, and the 285-30 creates a .5 stagger with the front being shorter. When your rear is taller there's less of a chance you'll get unwanted traction control issues. The oem stagger is .1

Uhh...no. You're way off. No tire size available will get you to .1 with the rims you have. Your height difference front to back is .4 if you have a 275-35 and 305-30.

Agreed. Either do 285-30 and 305-30, or go 275-35 and 295-35. I wouldn't mix the profiles to make the rear shorter.

I was referring to 265/35 upfront and 305/30 in the rear.

265/35 upfront and 305/30 in the rear. Why would the rim matter when the tire determines the height?

Why wouldn't you mix profiles?

Could be wrong here, but the ECU uses tire rotation speeds (as they relate to each other) for adjustments.

If the fronts are constantly rotating at a different speed than the rear, it could cause weird issues.
