About the 285/35R20 size
The most widely used exotic rear size on 20 in wheels, from GT-R to 911 Carrera. Good availability by exotic standards, and both street and near-track compounds exist.
The numbers mean: 285 mm section width, sidewall height 35 % of that width, and a 20-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 27.9 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

What vehicles use 285/35R20 tires?
285/35R20 is original equipment on Nissan GT-R (2009-2024, rear), McLaren 570S (2016-2021, rear), Porsche 911 (2012-2019, 991 Carrera rear), Ferrari Roma (2021-2024, rear), Ferrari Portofino (2018-2020, rear), Maserati GranTurismo (2008-2019, rear), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 285/35R20 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Nitto NT555 G2 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 285/35R20 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
