Default Whats the widest tires you can fit stock?

Need to change out tires soon and probably won't be getting rims.. too many bills Just curious what's the widest I can go on stock 18" touring rims.. I know Toyo's are rated pretty high, but what's the best "bang for the buck" tires that you guys would recommend and where should i buy from??

Also, anyone know the alignment specs for the Z??

245's up front and 265's out back. You can run a 275 in the rear, but it does bulg.

BFG KDW's are the best bang for buck. www.tirerack.com

If you have feathering on front tires you can start it w/ NNA & at your dealer at the same time. I have Z 2003 & my tires in the front are free for the life of the Car from Nissan NNA. .-.-. Y E S .-.- .-.-.-. this is not

.-.-.--.-.-.--.-.-.--.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.--- NO .





IF NISSAN IS THAT STUPID, THAN GO TO THE LEMON LAW : the tires are feathering and NIS_DUM knows how to fix it and will not. A few letters to the consumer protection people will put them in some DEEP ****. don't let the A** Holes beat you . i'm over 3yr. & they didn't even blink at 37,000 mi. ,they just put the new tires on. (my 3rd set ).

"O" here is some info that just came to light : RE040's are not the same specs as the OEm tires on the car where when you got it . Nowhere as sticky

Nope.. I went to the dealership, noticed front right tire was feathering. 3 years is over for me, and they said they can't do anything. I called NNA and they talked to the dealership. Best they would do is free alignment....

NNA has you in there gun sites already you need to get to them 1st. see post#11 if you don't go after them they'llyou till you give up. don't give u

THINK ! If some one F'ed you would you go to the police.


Sorry for that but THINK about it , that is what NNA is trying to do . [B][SIZE="5"][COLOR="Blue"]GO AFTER THEM. .-.-.--.: !!!!!!![/COLOR


NNA has lost every single court case & 90% of the people didn't bring lawers. why !!! B/c NNA testifies against them self.



.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- this is to everyone !! .-.--..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-LESSEN
