17’ Nismo w/new Pilot Sport 4 S’s

bhandy · 01-29-2018, 08:12 PM

3600 miles on the clock had purchased slotted and drilled rotors with Hawk 5.0 pads, figured I do rubber while they had the car. Went with the 265/35 fronts and 305/30 for rears stock Nismo rims. Freaking perfect fit no bubble butt and flat on the ground. Bed the pads in as directed and will dig into those maybe tomorrow. I also have the HPS-Plus but had these put on, no noise or anything with those. My initial reaction in bedding was nausea for sure, freakin nuts there and also the fat rubber now makes it even better. Crazy how this extra size rubber fits perfectly on the Nismo rim.

I read the thread on that, I wanted a flat contact patch and not even a micro bubble. That's just me though. Whats more impressive with these tires is that braking performance jumped up the performance ladder bigtime. Was going to do 15mm spacers but would have taken longer for them to do with the longer hub bolts. Glad I didn't do them. The beefier but flat rubber is perfect.
