I run Michelin Pilot super sport 335's on the factory rear wheels. It's a thousand times better then the stock tires.

What size are you running in the front? I thought that was always the issue running the PSS with the stock 20" wheels.

It's actually the tires sizes I was running on my GTR.
285 35/20
335 30/20
PSS's run a touch narrow so they fit great on our 11 inch rear wheels. The lower sidewall ratio is offset by the wider tires so the outside diameter is very close.

Make sure you get the ones marked with "XL" or extra load for the weight of the truck. I'm out of town but will take pictures next week.

It's a great performance tire and changes the response of the handling for the better. The only downside is they are not cold weather friendly. I live in SoCal so that's not an issue for me.

Dude… I'm not a tire salesman so I don't care what tires you put on your truck. You asked a question and I answered it. Feel free to ignore it.

Not sure what 'calculator' your looking at but there a difference of .7 inches in the outside diameter according to the manufacturers data. In real life using gps vs the speedo on my truck it still shows a 3mph higher speed at 70 on the dash just like the stock tires did.

This is the best performing tire that's actually useable on the street that you can put on the stock wheels. If that's not your main goal I wouldn't recommend them.

Several people have asked me to take pictures to show how the 335's fit on the stock X6M/X5M wheels. Finally got back into town and had a chance to take the pictures outside. Of course it rains.

These are Michelin Pilot super sport 285 35/20 (has the large blue caliper in the pictures) front and 335 30/20 rear. The softer compound and non run flat sidewalls changes the character of the handling. Much more responsive without the run flat choppiness.

Those tires appear to fit very well. Definitely a big supporter of Michelin SS tires. Have them on my E46 and they perform very well.
