hi bird, i don't have the toyo, but i do have Michellin pilot 305's... i would really recommend them, since they give you better grip and overall better driving experience.

also they look a little better.

looks like these guys took good care of you before I got back bert! :bowrofl:

I have them on my Z. LOVE them, I only drive in the summer tho on nice days, I have driven a couple times in the rain cause I got stuck, but drove VERY slow and cautiously. So if you drive you Z like I do, I strongly encourage you getting them, SO much grip, hardly ANY tire spin, which means all my power is going to the pavement. Hope this helps!

Reaper, glad to hear about your experience with the toyo. From the post of WWJD, the tire thread life mileage appears to be pretty low. I like the part of effectively getting power to pavement :tup:

Hey Hazzazi, thanks for the input man, I keep hearing great things about those from different shops. In all likelihood, those will be my next set of tires. I had a tire blow up on me though I don't have that many miles on it. I'll probably replace both rear prior to planning on having all 4 replaced next. :tup:

i was comparing them against stock advan tires, sorry for not being clear

Get the RE11s I run them on my nismo and I have full traction when I full throttle in 2nd gear on my low boost setting (450whp). They are very grippy and are superb in the rain.

Not to mention Toyo 888 is friken loudest tire in the world! They sound like 4x4 tires. Re 11 is much better Choice.

FYI I run 315 Hoosiers on my 10.5 width wheels

AD08's?

Just a thought, this is the tire that I am thinking of going with.....

Thanks Jeff, Shamu & One_quick_Z, I'm leaning back towards the Advan for short term and Michelin once I need to refresh all the tires :tup:

did you consider the t1r? I know someone who is on their 2nd set and has gotten almost 40k out of em.

:eek: 40k that's pretty impressive, no way in Z world I could get anything close to that many miles the way I drive. Never heard before of the T1R Roy, thx for the suggestion :tup:
