Funny how you mention how the tires are better. I could be wrong, but I think the base tires are Yokohama Sport's, the same kind they slap on the Nismo, although obviously a different size. Why would your car be on blocks if you went with aftermarket wheels

Base stock tires are Yoko Advan Sports. I prefer them to the RE050a's for a variety of reasons...

Did some searching:

Nismo:
245/40YR19 (front) and 285/35YR19 (rear) Yokohama® ADVAN Sport® high-performance tires

Sports Package:
245/40WR19 (front) and 275/35WR19 (rear) Bridgestone® Potenza® high-performance tires

Base:
225/50WR18 (front) and 245/45WR18 (rear) Yokohama® ADVAN Sport® high-performance tires

Nissan's logic doesn't seem to correspond that the Yoko Advan's are the better tire. Otherwise, why would they put them on the model more likely to see a track.

My next set will likely be RE11's.
