Looking for people with 315/35/17 on 9.5`` rims

This post is just for people that have 315/35/17 on 9.5`` rims. The only reason is because I want to hear replies from people that actually have this. I have heard alot of opinions on this, but I want to hear from the people that have experienced it. Do you like the way they handle, the traction, or is there any reason why you would go to 275/40/17 instead the next time you buy tires? Thanks.

How did they wear? Did you lower the air pressure in the tires so they would wear even?

315\35\17 nittos

Running 245\50\16 and they half worn. Bought a pair of
17\9.5 rims. I would like to make the nitto 315\35\17s
my next upgrade. Im running 12s now and I was hoping
the 315s would work better than 245s. Need to know if
they will fit so lets keep the post going.

What kind of wheels do you have now? If you havent bought the wheels yet, then get the 17*11 rear and 9.5 in front. On ebay just do a search for camaro wheels. Ebay has by far and away the best prices. If you get the 17*11s theyre only about $120 more than going with all 17*9.5s. Plus both deals come with tires. So that $120 also pays for 315s instead of 275s,

There is no reason to stay with the 275s for the rear. However dont put anything bigger than 275 in front.

A 315-35-17 tire will fit your 9.5" rim, however a 285-40-17 also fits. I'm also looking for new tires and 315s are pretty expensive, fortunately there's still some rubber left so I have some time to make up my mind ... 285 or 315.... I'm not sure if it's worth the extra bucks since you (or I) don't have 11" rims which makes the tire look wide... actually I don't think the 315-35 tire will look much different from the 285-40 when they're both on the same size rim.....might be wrong, anybody an idea (or pictures) ????
