All I know is 19" 305 Michelin PSS tires are big $$$$$$ I expected better grip from them. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to use after I burn these off.

So you're not happy with them eh? My Honda buddies are all trying to steer me away from the PSS, I think they want me to get Falkens.

Maybe I should just get Ventus V12s and call it a day.

I'm sure they would be awesome on a NA 370z with bolt ons. I only imagine it being worse for me if I went with hankooks or something cheaper like that. I need a traction control unit and some drag radials.

V12's yes probably fine, but falkens just stay far far away! Save your money and buy a half decent tire! IMO

LMBmikeZ 02-06-2014 09:10 PM

you would probably get better life out of a set of winter tires on the Z through the summer then running falkens!

Just did some price check on tirerack and size comparing websites. to keep the size close to stock, you need 275/40/18. Per tire that size, you can save only $10-$20(for PSS that's $60 per tire). just saying, I wouldn't do it just to save that much

wouldn't what? go down to 18's?

i didnt get 18s for the tire savings. im going to be slaying tires all day anyway :D
i mainly went with it for the weight savings. i went with an 11 inch rear width. even at that width they're 17.5 lbs each. i went nuts after holding one in my hand, i couldn't believe it.

does this mean you will be tracking the car since you are looking at saving weight?

when I get wheels I am thinking of going with 20's. but I do not plan on anything competitive for the car track day wise, would just be for fun and to legally speed/drive really fast! :driving:

Yes. I'm just arguing the price point. weight reduction/performance gain side of it is something I would like to know about though. I hear 18" you lose some traction but not noticeable.
