What size? They don't have OEM sizes.

Just took them out for a cruise today and spent 9 hours throwing them in the curves. I couldn't get the VDC light to come on once lol And there was no understeer problems noted. I tried to take a 90* turn @ 80 and I couldn't even feel slip... :shakes head:

These things will stick, even if the road is dirty/rocky. :tup:

I have yet to break traction in mine.

I had a set installed on my factory 19" Rays last week, in standard OEM sizes. I'm still breaking them in and haven't driven aggressively but first impression is that they are less noisy than the Potenzas. Not much, but noticeable. I went on a 200 mile freeway round trip Saturday. I didn't notice any difference in ride comfort but from what everyone says about the performance I think I'll be pleased. Now if I can get more than the 18K miles out of them that I got with the Potenzas I'll really be happy.

Fern to the Z 08-24-2011 03:08 PM

hey guys here is a question please chime in..
Looking to get the PSS it seems that getting the 255/35/19 isn't a problem, but apparently and according to multiple sources the 295 only comes in a 30/19... would it be a problem if ran a size 255/35/19 up front with 295/30/ 19 rear..If indeed it is a problem what do you guys recommend I run with.. maybe 265/30/19 F with the 295/30/19 R ...hmmmmm
specs of wheels are 19x9.5 +22 F / 19x10.5 +12 R
thanks..

Fern to the Z

XwChriswX 08-24-2011 08:12 PM

Sorry Fern, my rears are 295/30/19's. I can never remember lol :facepalm:

I just got and installed PSS for my nismo wheels: 275/35/19 Front and 305/30/19 Rear. I will track my car in 3 weeks..., will report back the result.

Btw 305/30/19 PSS is about 1" wider than 305 RE11.... weird :confused: But hey... this means more meat and traction :eekdance: :driving:

Just purchased a full set of PSS. My "new" HanKook Ventus (less than 3k with 1 track day) will be in the sale thread in the FOR SALE thread soon...

Ordering mine in 2 weeks from tirerack. $855.68 seems like a great deal compared to a few other places i called ($1300 from one shop i forget the name of).
How do you guys like the tires so far? Almost every review I've read says the tires are great on dry surfaces and just as, if not better, in the rain.

That is an amazing price.

hitbyadampayi 09-09-2011 08:20 PM

I was able to get a quote from onlinetires.com for $750 cash if i were to pick it up myself from their warehouse after my friend referred me to them when he got his tires and i wrote down the name of the salesman and all but my phone was dropped in water 2 weeks afterwards and since i didnt have the guys name anymore, the manager wouldn't lower the price for me and said "its impossible for any of our salesmen to quote that price for you"
I dont blame him for not believing me but man that price would've been better than 855 hahaha.
how's the tire holding up so far? any issues?

I recently purchased a set of factory size replacement Super Sports in 19" size from Evans Tire. The cost out the door including mounting & balancing, rebuilding the TPMS sensors, recycling fee, tax and a 4 wheel alignment (with a 3 year guarantee if I want to come in and have it checked and realigned periodically) was $1645. The tires alone were $1384. I checked Tire Rack and by the time you add $60 to ship 4 tires to whatever shop is going to install them you are going to be at $1313. I don't begrudge a moderate profit to the shop and they did an excellent job, didn't scratch the rims, inflated them to the correct pressure, and hand torqued the lug nuts to 80 ft. lbs as is correct. I don't know how one poster came up with an $855 cost but I'll bet he won't be able to actually buy a set at that price.

Just ordered a new set of the Michelin Super Sport for my Z. I have 23K on the original tires:eek:

should have them here by middle of next week. Thanks for the reviews and info to the other posters!

There's a screenshot just in case anyone thought I was lying? Now when I go on tirerack and put in my zip code it tells me to call a number because they need to verify the price I'm seeing is the same that they're offering. I don't think I'm asking too much when I say the price they're putting on the website is that actual price they're going to charge me.

and there's the screen that i now get every time i put in my zip code. before it would take me to a screen that let me choose which form of shipping i wanted and the cheapest one would come out to 855.55.

Yeah, but I got 255/19/35 fronts and 295/19/30 rears... it sucks lol

I agree, I didn't want to have to buy a set, but when they called me back to see the right rear which had the steel braiding showing through... yeeeeeah, it was time for a new set... wallet be damned. :rofl2:

I made the mistake of listening to a friend and getting Advan all-seasons when my rear tires were finished and now that my front factory wheels are dead after 16k miles, I'm replacing the full set. NEVER listening to that friend for car advice again :shakes head::thumbsdown:

If that friend is not a member here then I'd totally agree... :rofl2:

If he is... Banned! :icon17:

Nothing wrong with all seasons if your crunched for cash, and understand you can't push as far as with ultra performance summers.

Me personally, I don't like having 2 different tire combo's or 2 different mileage worn tires... I replace all 4 even if only 1 is bad. But that's just me.
