You can also put 225s on the rear for that awesome stretched look.

OP: Don't ever do this. I'm just messing with JAR.

All seasons don't belong on a sports car IMO, but many people do it. Hope they work out for you.

No comparison between the two. If you just cruise to work and back the V12s will be fine, any spirited driving though and you will quickly regret getting them.

Hankooks are decent..especially for the price. But they do seem like they wear quickly.

I put some new Goodyear Eagle GT (somthing?) tires on my 350z when I had it. Those tires were great...good price, great handling in most conditions. I think they are an all-season tire.

Just purchased my 2009 Touring/Sport 6MT
Rear Tires have the General G-Max 275/35 ZR-98W
Measured 8/32" Wear so decent shape.
General Tire rates this Tire pretty good on noise and wear and general
all season.
Question is the front have Hankooks EVO 12 Ventus and there at 50%
Dilemma....

Gone to Run the Z just in the summer months no winter or rain so doing research on what most other members are running without speeding stupid money!! lol

Cheers!

Congrats on the new to you Z

But if I were you, I would replace all four of those garbage tires asap

Get some Bridgestone S-04's for performance without breaking the bank

First set of tires for me were Hankook Ventus Evo2s, now I'm on Potenzas in the back. I like the Potenzas more.

I drove my GTi from Alabama to D.C. to see family. About halfway though Virginia we got some rain and I realized I needed tires ASAP. We made it to PA and I decided to get the S04. I started to strongly dislike the GTi before the S04 b/c I felt like it just didn't have the mojo that it used to and that I'd grown accustomed to with a hot hatch. That tire made me fall in love with the car again, I kept it another year. It gave me everything I wanted from a tire and none of the stuff I hated about tires. Great ride. Great price. Great dry traction and wet traction. I probably drive more mildly on the street than some of you guys, but I feel like i'd run out of road and skill before I ran out of tire on the street with the S-04.

firulice · 01-04-2016, 07:19 PM

I need to get tires soon too. Why change sizes and not stay stock? Is it for looks? Performance? I'm thinking the s04's so should I stay with stock or change sizes?
