Need help picking tires for stock 18's
 

All,

I want to upgrade the tires on my 2012 370z touring base coupe. I will stick with the stock wheels for now (18x8 +43 front, and 18x9 +15mm rear). I was thinking about getting some Nitto Invo's but I'm not sure what size and brand tires to go with. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like something that gives LOTS of traction (currently 1st & 2nd gear don't really exist since I just spin the whole time). I don't plan on racing it all the time but might go to the drag strip occasionally. Mostly would need for daily driving with occasional hard driving. I also don't want the tires to stick out lots and look silly. And FYI - I've already searched the forums for this question but have had no success so I started a new thread :driving:.

Thanks guys,

Grant

Hi, Grant.

I'm sure others will weigh in regarding brand, but as far as size goes, you can run 245/45 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. Essentially, you'll be running the rear OEM size in the front and running an even wider tire in the rear.

Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the response! I've also been looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. I've heard they're pretty good too. My only concern with those after reading about it online is that they make quite a bit of road noise.

Not sure what tires you have currently, but PSS is quiet compare to stock RE050.

Also LSD would help putting the power down.

pss are quiet tires bro.

:iagree:

Very happy with mine

RE11's if u want to do it right the first time.

had PSS on my 997, excellent tire, quiet and has treadwear of 300
