Ran 335/35-17 Michelin Pilots on my Z for a while and had no issues.

Re: Tire size question
Concur. Had them on the 95 and they were fine. Great tires. Costco was the best all around deal for me although the Registry gets good prices on the tires. --Bob

Re: Tire size question
I have run 335/35/17 Michelin for many years no problem here in my opinion they should have came from the factory with them it needs the extra rubber.

Re: Tire size question
I don't believe there was such a tire in '89 (never checked/don't know) and the actual wheel spec for the tire (by dimensions) I believe 12" was/is suggested but of course there are min/max so ..

Re: Tire size question
I run 335/35-17 Michelin Pilot Sports on my '92 Z and have for a couple of years. I could not find the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's in the 315/40-17 size at the time. Before I bought them I checked with Michelin Tech and the said they would be fine on the stock 11.5" rims. They fit very well, no sidewall bulge, and have superior traction. I will continue to use them. I do love the looks of the Goodyear's though.
