2012 370z Sport Package -- Need new tires soon
 

I am definitely due for 4 new tires. I can go to the dealership or Discount Tire. I bought this car used a couple of months ago and aggressively used up the remaining tread on Bridgestone Potenza's. :driving:

I have 24500Mi. This is my daily driver. I plan to drive the new set spirited but not aggressive. What tires do you recommend and not recommend?

Here's Discounts choices:
Tire Products By Vehicle - Discount Tire


What were the OEM? Were they any good?

Thanks

I would also be leaning toward dry tracking since I live in Texas. I don't need all season. :tiphat:

OEM tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A.

I would suggest getting Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Get the Super Sport tire. I got 4 new ones only thing silly looking with them are the tread pattern.

S04's for quick handling.

SuperSports for comfy softer handling, so i read.

also check out Continental DW's at tirerack.com. i think these are pretty similar to the supersports as far as handling, but you loose some grip per the survey's.

Conti DWS All-Season or DW for more all summer-ish feel.

I'm getting michelin pss's when my stockers are bare. Never driven pss's but everyone here and in other places iv'e checked rave about them. Or Bridgestone potenza re-11's from what ive read are great too. people seem to think the pss's are a great street tire and good track tire, whereas the re-11's are a great track tire and good street tire. You probably can't go wrong with either but I'm definitely getting pss's when mine are done.:tiphat:

Yikes! OEM Nissan is sure proud of them. The guy at Discount said the eo means something like OEM and tends to cost more.

I am on a budget; Both the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus are out of my price range as well.

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport look ok. Any other recommendations for under $1200 out the door for a set? Preferably Summer and Z Rated.
Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position?

Hankook V12 for a budget?

Yep, S04's at tirerack's sale price is a very good buy. I run them on my G. Wet and dry traction is very good.

Continental DW's if on a budget.

I decided on the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires.

Discount tire does not carry N. I could ship them to the dealership if there is a sale and have them mounted and filled with N there or refilled.

nice! :tup:

meh, forget about nitrogen unless you have wheels that have 2 valve stems. you cant get all the air out inside the tire with only just one valve. unless there is some magic they do. everyone likes magic.

N
 

That's been my concern as well. I would be limited to the dealership for repairs and fills if I go nitrogen. I like the idea though. :stirthepot:

Prices
 

I decided its just easier to do it at Discount. I might find a reputable station to swap the air out for Nitrogen.
