Tires
 

It will be a while before I need tires, but I am curious...

What is tire will you go with when the time comes?...All weather, performance,...

I won't go with all weather - more like summer performance or similar. By the time I need to get tires, hopefully there'll be more options/brands.

Anyhow, all weather tires tend to do them all equally mediocre.

The new Yokohama Advan Neova's. A street tire that is fully track worthy, and faster than some full R-compound tires.

Also, currently using R888s for the track, but first track day isn't until the Z1 nationals.

The RE050A is already a damn good tire...among the best street-tires you can get, along with PS2s and the latest P Zeros. I will likely go with the PS2s for my second set of tires because I've used them in the past and could not ask for more.

Since it doesn't snow here, I have never, nor do I think I ever will buy anything other than "Max Performance Summer" tires. "All-Season" just means light snow and freezing-temperature capability.

With the current options out there, when the times comes I will be going with...

265/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 up front

275/35/19 Nitto NT-05 rear.

When the snow falls here in the northeast the Z will be in a heated garage until it melts and the salt is washed off the roads from a good rain.So I'am all for the performance tire at all times and all year around.After all it is a sports car and it says performance all over it.
Have the SUV for the nasty weather.
I like the REO50A Potenza's so far but will see what is out there when the time comes and make a choice if I decide to make a change.By then maybe there will be a bigger selection.
I do believe in the saying "if its not broke don't fix it'!So if these Potenza's prove to be all they say they are I'll stay with them.
