If you bought the car second hand, those curb rash could have came from the previous owner, or even the dealer if the it had been in their posession before you purchased it. I can't imagine anyone scraping up all four wheels and not remembering, there is a gut wrenching sound when I carelessly curbed on of my rear wheel. Trust me, if it was you would know.

Tires should be wider for sure. The most popular size being used is 265/35 & 305/30. This set up should provide enough meat to give your rims some protection.

Michelin and RE-11 are two of the top choices but pricey, especially in 19's. However, you cant go wrong with either one.

yah, plus no offense, but those are those junk v12's. they dont belong on a car like our Z if you consider yourself a car enthusiast. :tup:

yep if ure going to run FI, i'd go with FP's setup probably with the RE11's.

Price out the Potenza S-04's. Currently $800 for the set at TireRack. Great tire, runs a very close second to the Pilot Super Sports for about $400 less. The S-04s have nice overlap on my Touring Sport, good protection for the wheels, as I found out just the other day.

Speaking of wheel rash...be very selective of where you take your newly-finished wheels to have your new tires mounted and balanced. That's a very common place to get all four of them them scraped up, not to mention the need for accurate balancing.
