Need tire suggestions please
 

My nismo needs new rubber. this car is 90% street driven. i rarely drive it in the rain and i never drive it in snow. i hate loud tires. i hate loud tires. i hate loud tires. so no loud tires. lol

budget is 2000-2500ish.

present tires are advans in sizes 285/35zr19 & 245/40zr19. these are some loudass tires.

Go with either Michelin Pilot Super Sport , Potenza S04 or RE11

That budget can get you anything, continental dw are notorious for being super quiet, and the pss of course

I went from Toyo Proxes to Hankooks, the difference is night and day. I had RE-11s on another car and I can attest they are also quiet. I am very impressed with the Hankooks though as they are not loud imho. I also went 285/35fr and 325/30rear on stock Nismo wheels so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Either way good luck, with that budget you could possibly buy two sets.

The Bridgestone S04 are great tires for traction but road noise isn't that quiet. I'm definitely going to give the Continental DWS a try next time.

OP - nice budget, indeed. You've got your pick at that price point.

:iagree: I've had my S-04s for about six weeks and love the performance (especially for the price), but I'll second what AdamRacer stated - they are not the quietest tire, despite some reviews that I've read.

I third this. The S04 are excellent performers and monstruos grip in wet and dry. The noise isn't that bad but a little louder than stock.

road noise
 

so4 is louder than a stock advan?

Advan's are noisy as all hell once they get some ware on them. S04's are are much better in every way.

thanks for the asisst. linin up some so4s now.

obviously u are the right person to own your ride with the right budget.

get the RE11's in ur stock size. in fact, dat is wat i run on my nismo wheels.

this hobby controls my life. lol

LOL.. u're on the right path to spend the necessary budget for the most important part of your car. :D

id probably go with MPSS..had excellent results on my 997C4 running 305s on back, good wear, quiet..

I just picked up a set of Nitto NT555 G2's in a 255/305. Overall a great tire, quiet, grip really well and have an aggressive tread pattern. Might be something to look into

Also they are very reasonably priced.

Cant go wrong with PSS though. More expensive but an incredible tire

That was my first choice but back ordered until april in my size

those 305s are lookin good Brock. are you lowered?

S04's are quieter than stock. RE-11's are also quitter than stock.

Thank you

Yes, I am on Tein Street Flex coilovers

I've put a handful of miles on the new SO4s. So far, they are really quiet, much quieter than the wornass Advans that were on it. The Z seems like a totally different car with that awful drone gone.

They have more grip too...but not like you would think. I don't do any corner-carving on the street. However, I could slide the front Advans simply by turning the steering wheel past halfway at a stop and taking off normally. The SO4s will not slide.

I'm perfectly happy with them at this point. I just hope they continue to be good tires as they wear in.

I got them from a locally owned auto service for about 1300 out the door.

They actually get better after you put a few miles on them.

:iagree:

tires look sweet! Question, Nitto also makes a INVO tire that looks interesting...why the NT555 and not Invo?

I just replaced my S001 on the rear of my nismo's with the Bridgestone S04. They were about $240 each, much cheaper than the $300 each i see for S001 direct replacements

Not tracking the car, this is just weekend fun car for now. I have driven in the rain and feel the wet traction is solid. Don't count on my take for much, i'm not pushing anything. I just wanted to comment that the price is better and all the reviews i've read for the S04 have been positive

you should also check to see whats in stock in your area through your local tire stores. I had a deal from Firestone for discounted installation, alignment and other safety checks at a location convenient to me

Moving forward, i'd like to go more hardcore and have two sets of wheels, one for track, one for street, but thats just pie in the sky atm.

Just added S-04's 265/305 and did some spirited driving on them this weekend.

So far, so good. Very happy with the grip and feedback.

Invo was my first choice but they do not make them in a 305/30. Only a 305/25 and that is too thin for my liking. They are great tires if you find the size your looking for!

I personally love the NT555 G2's so far. Handling and road noise both surpassed my expectations. You really can't beat them for the price :tup:
