Default Had Z for 6 months Just got new tires and my GOD!

I bought my 2013 370Z about 6 months ago used with 13,000 miles and apparently the tires were the OEM's and they sucked! I couldn't get all 4 replaced at once so I got 2 for the rear, bridgestone potenza s-04 pole positions and it handle even worse, if there was a separation line or anything in the road the front tires would pull the steering in the direction of the line and going 90 that is scary, did help that I had 2 different tread patterns. Just got my new bridgestone potenza s-04 up front and now the car is fantastic and I love it, 6 speed. As soon as I can figure out how to take a pic that's under the max file size limits I will. Thank you!

Are you saying just new tires made the difference overall or same 4 tires made the difference. I am looking to buy some new rear Michelins but the OEM fronts are not bald yet.. are they quiet and come in size 18

Agreed, when I bought my 2012, it needed new rears before fronts so I bought the same tires and I hated how it pulled. Now I have all 4 and it's mucho better.

Welcome to the group and congrats.
