This wheel size speedometer calculator should answer your questions.

Performance Probe

And the RE-11's really are that good. Good in the wet, good in the dry, and spectacular on the track. They ride better then the RE050A's and have a better tread wear rating (180 vs. 140 for what that's worth)The RE-11's reputation is not based on forum/blog lore, but on actual results at autocross/track events.

Check out the most recent edition of GrassRootsMotorsports magazine. What tire did they choose for their BMW 335i?

These people will probably want blood if they find out those 1200 tires last 10K miles

Jeffblue · 04-26-2010, 11:50 PM

word, i'm sure the RE-11's are awesome. but they are also $300 a piece. spending more money on tires than on wheels

He's going to wind up spending more on tires than he does on his wheels. I agree those are definitely better tires than most, however, one could use race gas to drive around town, and that would be "better."

OP do you care about price or not? if you don't, get the RE-11's they sound great. if you do, don't feel like you're car is going to handle like crap if you spend a little less money on tires.

Zigen5 · 04-27-2010, 12:23 AM

Yeah, I do care about price. Is there such thing as performance on a budget that last long? lol...

Liquid_G · 04-27-2010, 09:26 AM

you could probably do nitto invos, 255/35 and 305/30. Right at 1200 shipped for all 4.

cossie1600 · 04-27-2010, 12:23 PM

You get what you paid for, you can probably try Kumho AST or something.

Those are ok on an Altima (hard and prone to vibration when cold) but I wouldn't put them on the Z.

IDZRVIT · 04-27-2010, 02:50 PM

Look at Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. It's a high performance all season Z rated tire. I have them and I don't have any complaints.

cossie1600 · 04-27-2010, 06:06 PM

You mean in terms of how hard they are

You have a car with 300HP, do you want to mess with traction? You can stick the tires that came on my Prius

Marco_xyz · 05-02-2010, 11:44 AM

What is the biggest and most aggressive you can go with 19x10.5 in the rear and 19x9.5 in the front with 20mm spacer? The tires on my extra set of wheels are balding, so I would like to get some nice beefy tires that will make the car very aggressive, but just big enough to not look ridiculous lol. Any advice anyone? Tires sizes is one thing I am not good at!

Zigen5 · 05-04-2010, 06:21 PM

Read the first page... Just keep in mind that the wider you go, the more your going to spend.

RedBullRR · 11-17-2011, 06:44 PM
