Michelin has a lot of people drinking their special juice...and it is currently leaving a bad aftertaste in my mouth...It is like Budweiser, terrible beer, but people who drink it love it becuase they are told it is great... these are not performance tires IMO. WORST 1200 bucks I ever spent in my LIFE...cannot wait till this crap is wore out. They paid off a lot of people, and we the consumer have paid for it... these tires perform in the 600-700 dollar level...PLEASE do not submit to all the propaganda!

Monsters of Grip: Nine Summer-Performance Tires Tested Comparison Tests - Page 10 - Car and Driver Perhaps the slightly rounder/fatter sidewall doesn't fit your driving style or what you deem the most important. I think the stiffer sidewall tires can give the illusion of faster cornering, and that may be true on a perfectly flat surface, but that's not necessarily true on uneven street surface? And "very close to stock" alignment....a hair bit amount of toe change can hugely affect handling (I thought lowering also affect toe?). I also wonder if stiffer spring magnifies the softer sidewall too (more compression force acting on the tire hence more sidewall flex maybe?) Last edited by cv129; 05-24-2013 at 06:41 PM. |

Update. I've had the tires on a week now and hands down they are better than the stock advans that come on the NISMO. I have no problem with feedback, steering sensitivity, or response. They are far sticker than the stockers for sure. I don't notice any rolling of the sidewall on aggressive turns either. They are also much quieter, smoother, and absorb a little more of the road bumps compared to the advans. Overall I'm happy with them. I think in order for me to be 100% happy with the traction of the car I will have to get a true LSD to replace the crap VLSD that comes on the car.
RE-11's are a good option and honestly what I was going to go for but the front tires are not rated (with regard to weight) for the NISMO. I tried multiple tire places and they all said they wouldn't be able to mount them for me. Why Nissan rated the front of the NISMO heavier than the regular 370z I'll never know. I could have just lied and said I had a regular 370z that I added a body kit to but wasn't worth the hassle since I could get the PSS Will be hitting up the next auto-x in 2 weeks and will report back then. |
