Help with tires
It is time for new tires for my 40th Z. I am looking for a tire that offers less road noise without giving up to much performance.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Should be quieter and offer better performance.
Continental ExtremeContact DW also should be a bit quieter without too much of a performance hit.

if you like the RE050A's ride, stick with S04 Polepositions. they are significantly quieter than the RE050A's and grip is better in dry and wet.
The DW's are fine and they work well for quiet ride. performance is on the softer side but depending on the kind of driving you do you might like them better. |

If performance is important, Re11.
If you want them last longer without giving up much performance, PSS. If you are in SoCal where never see rain, then AD08.

Nitto 555s are a very old design and are prone to dry rotting very quickly. There are far better options available now.
