Pilot Sport 4S for the Nismo

A2-370Z · 04-06-2019, 09:32 PM

I agree with everything EHALL said. OEM had very short life, about 13k. I live in michigan with a 16 nismo and have put about 20k on the 4s. Only caution is cold weather. Below 45 they begin to get loose like any other summer tire.

Go with these:
265/35 19
305/30 19
which is what I have or

255/35 19
295/30 19

The 4S's look more aggressive and have shoulders that are rounded vs the Super Sport which I also love. They're great tites.

Do i need spacers to run with these setup on a nismo?

The nismo is the same as the base, no chance to the fenders, at least when u take off the stupid flares

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.

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?

Good to go. The 255/35-19 and the 295/30-19 are the same height. You will love them.

Wait….those profile heights with stock suspension will accentuate the wheel gap tho. 255/40 and 295/35 would be better for stock suspension.

Ok.

So I’m just looking to only change them to 255/295. Not change anything else.

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
