sabregl Report post Posted December 6, 2010 I need to put new tires on my car and I cannot find 235/35 ZR18 which is the correct tire size for the front. I do see lots of options for 245/35 ZR18 which is the correct size for the Murcielago and might possibly work. Does anyone know if this size will work with the Diablo without causing damage to the viscous traction system? Thanks.

topcabron Report post Posted December 6, 2010 I thought it was the profile and not the width that creates problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlToro Report post Posted December 6, 2010 I thought it was the profile and not the width that creates problems. Right, the 245's should work without rubbing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKBULL Report post Posted December 6, 2010 If the difference in width is significant enough, at worse it may reduce turning radius. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

azlambo Report post Posted December 7, 2010 I asked this same question regarding my '99 Diablo VT quite a while back. Stock Sizes: Front 235/35/18 Rear 335/30/18 The only "matched set" I could find were BF Goodrich, with a tread pattern that everyone seems to say were very "noisy" on the road, in their reviews. You can get Pirellis in both the front and rear sizes, but they are two different Pirelli models. Fronts: Pirelli P Zero System Rear: Pirelli P Zero Rosso Was also told not to use 245/35/18's on the front by some, but others have used them with no problem. Supposedly it screws up the VT system, but others have said that there is no effect. The 245's are a little wider, and therefore the profile is a little taller, with the same 35 aspect ratio. Supposedly, this slightly bigger diameter could screw up the VT system, but I don't know that. Hope this helps! AZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntnphool Report post Posted January 22, 2011 This past summer I talked with Roy about this at one of the RTC days. I was concerned with the 245's as well but noticed both of the VT's he had brought up for the day had them. He said he was told by the techs that it was okay. I have since purchased 245's and have not noticed a problem, although I have not put a ton of miles on them yet. Roy said all of his VT's have them and he hasn't had a issue yet either.

Drew3 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 BFGoodrich has that size in the g-Force for front and rear. Front: 235/35ZR-18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2XL Rear : 335/30ZR-18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 Good tread design and I have had no trouble with them at any speed. Just another option. I did the same search you are doing, good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same search you are doing, good luck Drew, In my original post, I meant to say that the only matched set was BF Goodrich (I edited my post to read this way). The reviews I read on the tread design (real curvy) was that it made a lot of road noise. Is this not the case? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
