Announcing TopgunZ ACE Supercharger Kit!

Maybe this has been answered, I haven't read all 2000+ posts. Can the original size Nismo tires handle 500 HP? It's my understanding that the auto trans can handle about 500 HP.

I think that it all depends on your driving style. I'm currently on my stock tires but plan on upgrading once I wear these ones out. If your looking to launch, then I would definitely look to upgrade.

I upgraded my tires to the PS4S tires just after a few months of ownership. The original tires only had 2,500 miles on them, and were brand new, but after having the ART pipes and Garageline system installed (my only power upgrade at this time), the tires were getting loose and squirrely. I noticed immediately upon upgrading the tires that the rubber in the originals was much harder, and prone to loss of traction. FYI, the shop owner who mounted the tires was not happy with those rears on the factory wheels. He said they took nearly a couple hours apiece!

Current output to the wheels is 269tq/312hp. I didn't do a "before" dyno run, so I don't know what it was from the factory, but I understand it might be possible I have a "ringer" engine. Like others, I'm waiting on the BOV for the kit.

It's a centrifugal kit, doesn't make a ton extra torque. I've actually had little to no traction issues at 450whp on all season tires. First gear will spin yeah, but if I mash the gas in 2nd usually there's actually no spin.
