Currently have my winter set up (Blizzaks) on since im still waiting for my new rims to come in and I only drove on the factory summer tires for a few months before I had to through the winters on so i cant really comment. Regardless im gonna get the Michelin's, and 275 is to much meat for me on a 9.5 inch rim

I am running 275/35 on the 9" front sport Rays which is the minimum rim width recomended. The 9.5" Nismo fronts would be fine. Reduces understeer and balances handling.

The Ventus V12 may be worse that the stock summer tires that came on your Nismo. The Michelin's are a good choice especially since you have a set of winter tires to run in the cold.

If you want a good alternative to both that is an excellent tire for the money look into the continental dw

Sidewalls are very soft on the Continental DW and steering precision is poor compared to the PSS.

I run the S04's @ 265/305 and they grip just fine for my DD...they even did well enough for a track day @ Streets of Willow.

Yes, RE-11's are superior but, S04's are great bang for the buck.
