Michelin pilot super sports! that will be my next tire as well. Heard nothing but good things about them

I bought my first set of Super Sports in April 2011. Of all the tires I have used in my life, these are the beat performing (street) by far. They grip like crazy and love to be pushed hard. I dod not get as many miles out of my rears as I hoped (about 13,500) and am on my second set.

What did you get out of the stock potenzas? Those have a tread wear rating of 140 compared to the pss's 300 I believe. Or did the 40th have a different tire? I'm not sure

I have much wrench turning to do today.

Have to swap back to street brake pads and put a block off plate in front of my oil cooler.

Wish me luck :)

Good luck!:tiphat:

The treadwear rating is somewhat misleading. Across different manufacturers it is a more or less useless number. The treadwear rating also really only applies to tires you can rotate fore and aft -- which we cannot with the Z with sport or touring packages. The Michelins are warrantied for 30,000 miles, unless you cannot rotate due to staggered setup, in which case the warranty is 15,000 miles.

Anyway, I was down to treadbars on the Potenzas at 16,000 miles (on the rears) and my fronts still had about 5/32" tread. I actually sold my frons to a G-35 guy for 140 bucks.

The super sports are supposed to be a bit less noisy too (I'm told)

I'm just coming back to mine tonight. The Wife was afraid I wouldn't want to drive an hour to her parents house after work, but of course Ill make the drive! I can hardly wait to have some quiet time with my beautiful girl. (It will be nice to see my wife too)

cleaned and waxed,

hankooks order soon, will get springs for her soon as well. :driving:

Spent a gorgeous Sunday morning flogging Stony Creek Road..then brought it home for a detailing.
