2nd set of tires for a Nismo?

What tires "brand and make" are people getting to replace the stock tires that come on the Nismo? or are yall just putting the same tires back on?

I have 21,000 miles on the stock Advans now. (can you say road noise!?!? lol) I'm going to replace those with the Bridgestone RE-11s. Sizes as follows:

F: 265/35/19
R: 305/30/19

Stock Nismo Rims. Will post pics when I get 'em mounted. Shipped on Friday, should have 'em on by Thursday

It depends on what you are looking for.

Good performance with good tire life consider the Hankook Ventus V12. This is what I'm going to put on my stock wheels when the RE050s are done.

Great performance with ok tire life consider the Bridgestone Re-11. I have these on my Volks and love them.

As most said, definitely go wider! 255/265 front with 295/305 rear

Well, I'm officially computer stupid. I've looked at the FAQ, and can't figure out how to upload my pictures in a reply in this thread. I can upload them in a new thread, but I don't wanna do that. Anyhoo, if you're logged in, you can see the pics in this thread, at least I can see them when I'm logged in. Any advice on simplifying how to put pics in threads as a reply would be cool, but the FAQ mentions a button that either a.) doesn't exist, or b.) I'm too blind to see.

I've been partial to Nittos for a long time. I loved my NT 450s. Not sure what I'll put on the Z though.
