RS3, AD08 arent that great, RE11 are faster then Star Specs IIRC.

RS3 is 140TW
SS is 200TW
AD08 is 180TW

if its between the tires on the list, the RS3 is the fastest street tire.

Yeah, I wanted to try the RS3's but they don't make them in the sizes I need. I ended up ordered some RE11's, should be getting them tomorrow.

Small update: I got the RE11's and got them mounted this week. I am extremely impressed with these tires. They grip unbelievably good, they're quiet, and the ride is smooth.

I'll do a review of these tires after I have a chance to use them some more. I'll be going to ZDAYZ and driving the dragon with these bad boys, so I'll be able to really test them. My camber is set to -2 up front and -2.2 in the rear.

Anyways, on to some pics:



And...after being mounted (I'll be adding some rear spacers again, this is a pic of my z without rear spacers like before):

Nice! Since I am only replacing the rears, I decided to just stick with Nitto NT555's. That's what was on there and I was pleased with them for the price/how long they lasted. One of these days I'll break down and buy a beater.

Maybe one day I'll hit baller status like you Brandon!

Oh yeah, to add on to the list of completely un-needed things I buy for my z...I just ordered these just in time for ZDAYZ because one of my existing lug nuts fell off, and the rest are all scratched up. (I know I know, too expensive for lug nuts, but they're so sick...at least my nuts will be worth a lot! ):





Can't wait to see what these looks like in person.

Yeah man, I saw those and even started writing up a message to you, but I prefer the more flat Ti look vs the glossy, chromy (is that a word) look that the Project Kics have. I figured if I'm spending over $150ish on lug nuts, I might as well do what I want the first time. Plus I hadn't spent any of my tax refund yet so, why not use that? haha

Nice setup! I should be getting some new tires also and plan to do a review on the Yoko Advan Neova's. Can't believe I'm going to miss zdayz because I want to see what that project 370z is going to end up like. One last thing, I'll be driving a GTR this coming week and making a video comparison to the Nismo, so stay tuned. I ended up getting TiTek lug nuts open ended in gold.

GT-R comparison or your personal review? Either way I like see. Can't wait till ZDAYZ this site comes alive for a few days with lots of media!

It's baller enough on Nagtroc! :thumb up: Lots of guys down there are rocking the gold lugs because it matches the Brembo's. As for the video, it's both a review and comparison. Me and my buddy are going to video our thoughts on the cars and go from there. Probabally I might end up getting his 09 and he'll upgrade to a newer model. If I'm lucky I'll probably be able to snag a 12 or 13 after my graduation and a year's work.
