Bro! That pic of you jackknifing up that steep driveway made it all the way through the net and on the little car group's page down here in San Angelo Texas. Thought I'd let you know! You've done a hell of a job with your Nismo

Well boys, time for some new tires: (pics are just for reference, not actual sizes...lol)

AD08's



or

RE11's



I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards the RE11's. One thing's for sure, it will be before zdayz!

^^^Haha, well all the reviews point that the RE11 is a better tire, that will last a bit longer. If I go AD08, I will have to get 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. If I go RE11, it will be 265/35/19 and 285/35/19.

One thing about the Yokohama's are that they are SOFT. It will wear out somewhat quicker than other tires, but they GRIP.

I did the exact same tire comparison. I ended up going with the RE-11 due to longevity compared to the AD08's.

This is the route I'm going. I DD and I'm a poor enlisted guy.

I'll be buying my tires right before ZDAYZ. I figure the 10 hour trip there should break them in for the dragon

ad08 will grip like crazy and look badass. re-11 will last a lot longer and be less grippy.

Looks like you have already come to a conclusion but have you thought about the Falken rt-615k?
