I purchased these for my 16 nismo in the spring of this year. No regrets. Great grip, and has more grip when wet than the oem.

https://tiresvote.com/articles/sport...mer-tire-test/ Not only that but also, you can find a very comprehensive tire test from tire reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NcenJ0zmAY&t=197s To sum it up: Continental SportContact 6 wins the category as the sportiest feeling and dry handling. Taking into account the weather here in Spain I decided to go with the German ones (why not?). I've struggled to find the rear 285/35/19 OEM sizes for the Contis. At the end, a pair were found (unfortunately DOM 7/16) and mounted today with the front ones 245/40/19 (manufactured on 25/19). You think it was over? Of course not. This was just the begginig. Right after stepping outside the repair shop, I quickly noticed that driving over 70 mph a huge vibration at the steering wheel appeared. I though the tires should be out of balance by far. And they were! all of them. I don't know if it's because it has been the first tire replacement in my nismo but it took them to balance and rebalance the four tires twice each!! Finally I think the got the point, but from this day I'm sure I will be pretty unconfident with that issue, checking and rechecking any new vibration in the steering wheel. Additionaly, after cleaning all wheels to seal the new rubbers. I found two scrachtes in my beloved Nismo rear wheels (see images attached). Seriously, How can it be possible??? For me they are the most beautiful ones for any Nismo! Hard day at office, tryning not to be pesimistic. But sometimes, reality steps over you... HARD., no matter your ilusions (personal insight). How to maintain inmaculate your wheels? I just don't know. By the way, I will be giving periodic feedback about the ¿best? summer tires in market. Stay tuned! Bye! |
:eek: those are my favorite Nissan wheels of ALL time. how sad they damaged them like that, TIME to open a can of WHOOP ***!

First 150 miles of Continetal SportContact 6
First things first. A new set of tires makes you first run feel like riding cloulds instead of roads. The last months with the Potenzas you could feel literally everything from the road with a huge rolling resistance.
The new Contis show and great low rolling resistance with less parasite noises into the cabin. It simply feels gummy but at the same time enough solid to give you all the information you need to face the next curve. It shows a very pointy behaviour at the limit. Let's see the durability! |

So I’m about to buy some new tires. I’m a stock 16 nismo - can I do 4S at 255/295 no problem?
Does it change driving style or anything? Anything I should be aware of? |

I've used the stock Bridgestone's, then PS4's and finally Contential ExtremeContact Sport.
The Bridgestone's suck, they wore out instantly and in FL they slide in the rain badly. The PS4 were great, they wore slowly but Contential's new tire is just as good as alittle bit cheaper. I've had the Extreme Contact Sports in the rear for about 25k miles and they have about 50% life left. I haven't been doing burn outs ;P |
PS4's or ExtremeContacts
I have been a pattern of wearing times in the F & R. I'll probably go with the ExtremeContacts on the front and back. Current I have 245 PS4 in the front and 285 ExtremeContact in the rear. They both have been in almost freezing temperatures for almost two years in Atlanta, still about 45-50% life. |
