Your alignment may be way out, particularly the toe since it doesn't look like camber wear. Lowered without camber arms and toe bolts?

You will have a hard time finding PSS of certain sizes. I have been waiting for 2 months for one rear replacement 285/35/19 Called Tirerack and Michelin. Michelin said they are not making any til Nov. National backorder

What do you guys think of Accelera Phi All-Season Tire? Fronts $80.75 Rear $101.25

No name brand? Super cheap? What could go wrong? I've never heard of a single brand on that page. Am I living under a rock?

NickTurnon · 10-09-2013, 02:28 PM

I think you will get what you pay for with those... $102 for a tire is like buying a used tire.

Go with a brand people know about and have reviewed

I know I plan on going name brand but found that super odd and extremely cheap had to share.

LOL, you just reinforced what we are trying to say. If its ODD or hard to believe, its generally fake or flawed.

I won't even suggest you try them out and report back to us, because I don't want to hear about a blowout on the freeway in a 370z and I also don't want you to get hurt.

Very odd. You know you've hit the bottom of the "cheap Chinese tire" barrel at that point.

I'm all about saving money, but there's a point where it doesn't make sense. I'd sooner roll into my local vato tire shop and get a set of the "Cobras" they're advertising. Although I doubt they come in less than a 22" size.

Are you sure it's from playing donut? Maybe is because alignment off? Did lower the car without camber kit?

Waiz · 10-09-2013, 04:40 PM

This is now my go-to tire

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....za+RE760+Sport

Doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is plenty grippy for street use

I have run way more expensive tires like the MPSS and have found that the RE760's have similar grip levels and so far have been wearing well anything more
expensive is just overkill IMO

great discussion since im in for new tires in the next few weeks too.

Mismatched tires are no good as far as I've heard. You will have stability issues
