I remember watching a show that debated which is more of a real sports car.

Says the guy with the GTR avatar


So I just looked at my rear tires to see just how much tread I have left / to waste down at ZDAYZ in 2 months. I was SUPER disappointed to see that my Hankook v12's are already at the wear line with less than 10k on them I got over 20k from the stockers, granted they were to the wire in the rear when replaced. I may have to invest in some rear camber components otherwise Ill be replacing tires yearly. Also need to go find my alignment sheet and see just how far off of the stock settings mine is riding. Ugh, the only reason I got those Hankooks was to save a few bucks but more importantly I wanted to get a little life outta them.

I wish I chose to go to SDSU I go to a ITT I am extremely unhappy but I'm to far in to turn around. I'm going for IT.

Maybe you are unhappy, but you should not be. When you graduate, you are immediately employable. Not so much for what I did at SDSU, which was to get a BS in Experimental Psychology with Minors in French, Russian Literature and Statistics. Interesting disciplines, but not ones that call out "hire me!".

Nothing to be unhappy about there, brother! IT is what I do as well. What are looking to get into, specifically?

Just to stay on thread, I just tucked my Z in the garage for a little nap until I have to take her back out at 1am (for work), have made myself a mean margarita, have tucked my feet under myself on the couch and I'm settling down to catch up onn some reading!


BWAHAHhahaha!!

Way to kick 'em when they're down! Damnit man!

Mr.onzedge, I was convinced by you already , but the price for the Michelins is about $500 more than the Continental DW..

Continental DW tomorrow

I also look forward to feed back!

For the price Continental DW is a awesome tire.
I have DWS on my Maxima and that is what convinced me to buy a Z again. That Maxima drives like it is on rails.
I have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the Z and they are better. However, if I decide that I need a less expensive replacement in the future the DW/DWS would be a tire that I would buy. For the little you'll give up in handling you'll gain in ride comfort and quietness. Plus, you'll save about 500 bones. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 is another wise choice if your looking at DW. Check to see actual tread widths etc... In Hankook Ventus, you need to get 285/35/19 and 255/35/19 to equal stock widths etc.. It might be the similar for DW.

Hum - Looks like you might have to go with 245-45-19 up front on the DW. I do not see a 245-40-19 in the DW. It works out to be almost exactly the same size as the factory Bridgestone specs.

Edit: For just over $1000 you might want to look at installing 255-40-19 Fr and 285-35-19 Rear DW tires. I was looking at the numbers and it might be a really nice set up. I wonder if these sizes would fit without rubbing on stock height car with stock rims? Anyone know?

Good luck alcheng. I'm sure you'll be really happy with your choice.

What I did with my Z today:

Found some newly repaved country roads to take in my area. The roads used to be very rough. I just found out they have been repaved. It's like getting someone to build a race track in my back yard. Didn't see but two cars the whole time I was out. The only thing I have to look out for is coyotes though. Almost took one out that was confused because I came up on him so fast.

Loving my new track.
