Plz help me out to choose the tires.
 
I am new here, and really need some advise from you guys. I am looking to buy a set of TE37SL wheels and I really want to know what is the best set up for the the car and wheels? Also what brand of tires is good? Really need your help. Thanks guys.

I have no idea what size of wheel you are going with, but as for tires, if you want high performance go with a tire with a treadwear of 240-140.
yokohama advan, michelin ps2, bridgstone potena re050a or re-11, contisport contact 2 or 3, Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec. These are all great highperformance tires

I've narrowed down my choice to Michelin PSS, Yokohama AD08, and Bridgestone RE-11. I don't know if the Z1 star spec come in 19s..

265/35/19 305/30/19

cossie1600 10-19-2011 10:31 PM

SINZ 10-19-2011 11:42 PM

what offset are the wheels your getting? Are you lowerd yet?
Hankook V12:tup:

XwChriswX 10-20-2011 12:00 AM

As with all other things, you'll need to pick specific marks of measure and rank them as to how important these are to you. For instance:

Treadwear
Sidewall
Dry Traction
Wet Traction
Cost

Will you be tracking at all?
Will you be doing spirited canyon runs?
What is your budget?

Once you've ranked what's most important to least important, and answered those questions, we'll be able to give you a better idea of which ones would be good for you. For instance:

If all you want is traction, and cost aside: Michelin SS', Bridgestone RE-11's
If you are looking to get a good wheel for a budget: Nitto iNVO's, Hankook V-12's

Thanks guys. The wheel that I am looking for is 19*9.5+22mm front and 19*11+23mm rear. I am doing any track for this wheels but I wany really good tires doing less spins when I take off. Maybe good conering too. Budget is around 2000 aus dollars. So yea, enough infos guys? I dont know, I am noobie about wheels. Sorry, thanks for helping!

corbin09 10-20-2011 09:21 AM

Is your budget 2k for tires and wheels, or just for tires? Are Volks cheaper in Australia? I would look at possibly getting some reps, or a different style wheel like enkei if your whole budget is 2k. That is my budget.. and for some reason Volks seem out of the question for every quote I get. I think I may be going with a set of reps for DD then keeping my mb battles for the track.

Spencer@Z1 10-20-2011 09:25 AM

ADO8 all the way man. You won't be dissapointed.

niznizbobo 10-20-2011 09:26 AM

2k is just for the tires~

corbin09 10-20-2011 09:27 AM

If thats the case, I think almost any tire is in your price range! I would go with the AD08 or re-11 as mentioned. You will be happy with either of those. The re-11's look pretty cool too.

Ryan@Forged 10-20-2011 09:37 AM

I would highly recommend the RE-11. We have had incredible results with this tire on the 370z. The grip is exceptional and we were pleasantly surprised with the long life. We have yet to find a true street tire that performs better.

niznizbobo 10-20-2011 10:22 AM

So bridgestone re-11 is the one you guys saying here right? Alright, I will go and ask the price 2moro! Thank you sooooo much guys. It helps me a lot. Cheers!!!

bleachzed 10-20-2011 10:29 AM

There are two types: bridgestone re-11 and bridgestone re-11s!
What is the difference here?

fuct 10-20-2011 11:30 AM

The treadwear number is pointless, every brand makes up their own rating for that.

Have you guys had the chance to test this tire against the Michelin pilot super sport? I'm interested in hearing what people have to say.

cossie1600 10-20-2011 12:14 PM

The Michelin stands no chance against the RE11, RE11 is a much grippier softer tire. Michelin CUp yes

We have not done a back to back testing on the same car yet. The Michelin PSS is a great tire and I believe would be another great option. We have used this tire on the GT-R with very good success. We have not used them on the 370z to date, so I can not honestly say how they compare at this time.

XwChriswX 10-21-2011 06:00 PM

I have the Michelin SS' on right now with just over 5k logged on them.

Love them.

Quieter (marginally, but still every bit helps) than stockers
Cornering is on the money. Either in a tight turn, or a long right hander, the car will not budge. Even over bumps at "higher" speeds, you don't move.
Dry Traction is equal to RE-11's. I won't say between the two which is better since I have not ridden on RE-11's. But for those that say there not even close, that might be an overstatement as these have been great tires.

For the setup I currently have:

255/30/19 F 295/30/19 R, $1850 installed w. 4x lifetime warranty's from Discount Tire.

cossie1600 10-21-2011 06:36 PM

You got to be kidding yourself...

brucelidat 12-20-2011 03:57 PM

any recommendations for good websites with good prices to order tires from?

cossie1600 12-20-2011 10:48 PM

just bring the vasoline, they are all expensive

I have found same thing as Chris reports on Michelin Super Sports. Especially the cornering compared to stock.
Using stock sport size 245 front 275 rear.

brucelidat 01-09-2012 12:01 AM

I notice some guys go quite a bit wider than the stock tires. I was wondering if there were any cons or risks with going wider and how do you make sure it'll ride fine and everything? I have the sport Rays which are 245/40 and 275/35.
