Hey guys, really long time lurker here. I was hoping you guys could guide me in the correct path.
I have a 2012 370z nismo. The car originally had (4) BF Goodrich sport comp-2 tires when I purchased it. Fast forward a few years later the years were getting bald. I purchased some Federal 595RPM for the rears only since I heard they were a decent tire. After installing car felt really "loose" and handling was definitely negatively impacted. Did a bunch of research here and realized I mixed tire compound and this is a known issue on this forum.
So I was going to just cough up the money and buy matching fronts but of course they don't make the 595RPM in my fronts size (double fail here). Ended up just driving the car like that until the fronts wore down (issue was less noticeable as time progressed but i can still feel it)
Fast forward to now, it's time to swap the fronts. I still have the 595RPM's in the rear. I want to make sure I get some front tires that will at least mostly match the tire compound of the rears. I am thinking about the Federal Evoluzion ST-1s.
Similarities in the tires: they are both summer tires and have asymmetrical thread design. the 595RPM's are 99Y speed rating and the ST-1s are 98Y.
