Tire Size Question
Now here is post that has nothing to do with Motor Trend, horsepower, torque, or 0-60.
Just a truly Z related question:
After doing some poking around on tirerack's web page.
www.tirerack.com
They list tires for all 6 models of the Z
Base
Enthusiast
Performance
Touring
Touring 6 Speed
Track
According to Nissan's page when the Touring is order with the 6 speed manual trans it states:
(Manual transmission Touring Model also includes Performance Model equipment)
Tire Rack search for the Performance returns:
Front 225/45-18
Rear 245/45-18
Tire Rack search for Automatic Touring returns:
225/50-17
235/50-17
But the search on tirerack on the 6 Speed Touring returns:
Front and Rear 225/45-18
Can anyone verify if this correct or is it just a fubar on tireracks part.
Every other model shows differnt size tires front and rear
Because when I ordered my car I was told that the Touring with the 6 speed includes all the Performance options. That would mean (all) tires and all, right?
I know alot of you have seen the car in person and have taken tons of pictures. Can somebody verify this information?
I would have stuck with the original decision to get the Performance or the Track if they we're skimping on performance based options

I have done business with Tire Rack many many times and these guys are great and know their S**T.
...that's why I'm going to Tirerack...
I was just looking for a difinitive answer. Not just what is on Nissan's page. The only thing they ever update is that stupid "time till launch date".
kraZy do you know for sure or are you just regurgitating what you've read on Nissan's page...

I know this is what is on Nissan's page... My point was that it wasn't the same information according to Tire Rack and I was hoping somebody had seen that the Nissan's page is accurate as to what the 6 Spd Touring has and Tire Rack's isn't...
Not trying to flame. But it would be nice if someone can answer the original question.

Sorry GettinOnIt, I guess it sounds kinda angry now that I read it.
Absolutely 100%, the Track, Performance and Touring 6MT models have the exact same tires front and rear...

Who cares if you get a flat, you'll have the lightest Z on the road especially when it's stuck to the back of a tow truck going to get another tire...

Really? Hmm... I wonder why Nissan chose to go with wider rims on the Track model than the other models, but not wider tires. (I guess there are arguments to be made as far as sidewall flex and contact patch differences... if that's what Nissan actually had in mind.)
