The base GT-R rides on Dunlop Sport tires, while the Black and Platinum editions will feature Bridgestone Potenza RE070 run-flats. All models come with alloy wheels.

hi Jim. i am looking for RE01R for my new rims which are CE28s with 17x9+54 all around. i decided to run 255 40 17 back but still stuck on front because of the rubbing issue. i am thinking either 235 40 17 or 245 40 17 on fronts. but i checked on tirerack the 235 40 17 is not in stock now. so do u think the 245 40 17 will work with the CE without rubbing issue? also can u tell me when the 235 40 17 will be in stock?? thanks

i was planning on getting the bridgestone potenza re050a pole positions and i dont see the stock tire size?
only 225/45/17 and 255/40/17

do they not make it in the oem size?
so everyone who has the pole positions are running a bigger size than oem?
is there a downfall with upgrading the size?

The stock tires are different from the normal sizing scheme, try the archives
