I go with the OEM 19in size, which is 245/40-19 and 275-35-19.

Don't want to go for something too crazy because it is a summer DD :icon17:

I checked out the shops link you gave me. Looks like they have all the right tools to do a good job. I like the brands they carry too. I'm going to have to give them a call.

I'm looking forward to your pictures. Your car is going to look sweet!

Interesting. Where are you picking those up at? I say interesting, because I did not see them in OEM sizes on Tire Racks' website.

Unfortunately Im super strapped for $$$ right now. Esp w ZDAYZ coming up and just paying my taxes. I can really only afford to replace the rears right now not buy a full new set:( So 2 new Hankooks it is. Also considering just swapping the tires to the opposite rims since the current outsides of the tires arent too bad:ugh2:

Just emailed Michelin to find out if they intend to produce the Pilot Super Sport in 285/35 19. :tup:

Continental DW tomorrow :tup:

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. :tup:

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.

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!".

Very true all in the eye of the beholder though :tup:

That would be nice. However, did you know that they are making the 295/30/19 that is only .6 dia shorter, about a inch wider and one pound heavier? In contrast, the 285/35/19 would be a little taller and only about .4 of a inch wider than stock widths. Not a upgrade over stock as far as I can tell. It would make for a higher gear ratio(lower numberically) and not a noticable difference in traction or look. It would however give you a little more bead protection on the stock rims. It seems to be sufficent as far as I can tell.
