Pilot Sport 4S for the Nismo

NismoSpain · 03-31-2019, 02:33 PM

Hi all,

I have to change the tires of the '14 nismo and I'm looking forward to installing the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Unfortunately I cannot find the tire dimensions that match my vehicle. (Front 245/40 R19 98Y, Rear 285/35 R19 99Y)

Has anybody gone with these tires? in case not, any suggestion for my Nismo?(only premium brands)

Thanks in advance!

285 square, 275 square, 265 & 305 setup. 275 & 305 is also close enough to spec. 255 & 295.

So many combos! It boggles the mind.

I bought the Michelin 4S tires for my 17 Nismo after I wore out the original OEM Potenza tires and I'm glad I went with these. The grip is insane for a tire that wears like these. I drive my car very "Spirited" and I've put about 10k on them and they'll probably give me another 10k to 12k miles before I need to replace the rears. And yes, i drive it hard most of the time which is why I modded it even while still being under the factory warranty. I bought it to have fun. These tires raise the fun factor to the next level. These literally last over twice as long as the original Potenzas that it came with from the factory.

I live here in Florida where it rains a lot in the summer and the Potenza's were actually a little scary to drive with in wet conditions. They broke loose all the time and lost grip when I wasn't expecting them to. Now with the 4S's I can still drive aggressively in the rain and there are no surprises. I can even get on full throttle in second gear and it just sticks. Even when shifting from 1st to 2nd under full throttle the car sticks and plants on wet roads.

If you're wanting to slide your Nismo around then you'll hate these tires, but if you're looking for performance and really want to push your car to the limits you really cant beat them. By the way I found mine on Tire Rack in the original OEM fitment.

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.

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

I got 19k out of the Bridgestones...well they are almost bald at that point lol

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.

BossJ · 07-17-2021, 11:11 AM

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.

axmea? · 04-08-2019, 12:27 AM

Not an expert but I think....conservative....
5mm spacer on the front.
3mm spacer for the rear.

k67p67 · 04-10-2019, 09:50 PM

5mm front
Effective 19x9.5 +17 (23mm outboard of stock setup)

10mm rear
Effective 19x10.5 +5 (18mm outboard of stock steup)
