Nissan 370Z Forum  

Finally purchased Pilot Super Sport!!

These have 300 tread wear right? I've always wondered about tread wear. I always assumed a lower number would equal better traction no? I should probably read up on this

I've always wondered about tread wear. I always assumed a lower number would equal better traction no? I should probably read up on this more.

At 15k my rears (base advan sports) are basically gone. I am looking for new tires and passed these over because I can't see them gripping nearly as well as stock (given treadwear).

I am looking at these:
Ratings, reviews and specifications for Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 tires

Would these perform much better than PSS?

I have driven a sport with stock tires and they are no way near as good as the pss's. I am also getting the ad08's next but i'm ok with only getting 10000 miles on a set of tires

I just got my PSS about a week ago after much research. So far I really like them on my '09 370Z but honestly don't see that much difference from the Potenzas that were on them from the factory. They seem a little softer which provides a more comfy ride but seem a little cushy especially taking a turn at higher than posted speed limits. As far as road noise is concerned, a little better than the Potenzas but not much. Lets face it, riding in the driver's or passenger's seat of the Z is really like riding in the trunk so road noise is pretty much guaranteed. I'll see how the PSS do over time. Overall, I'm not disappointed I bought them.
