Default houston Z's running nitto neogens

I might be getting these on the nismo, but would like some hometown feedback from anyone running these on their Z.
275/35/19 on the rears.
245/40/18 on the fronts.
Thanks!

What's your plan of use? I've run them all around but liked em more so for the front. Good traction even in the rain. Ran a 285 in the rear and wasn't too pleased under hard acceleration. But over all a decent tire for everyday driving! But just depends on what you're wanting to do!

BFG KDW! I swear by these tires! You get great performance for the price. And with the sudden Houston rains they push the water away awesomely for a summer tire! I ran these on my TT-Z (420whp) for years and had no complaints.

Ahh good to know Robert. Im going to use them for everyday driving. I remember all the horror stories with the 555's, so I just wanted to see if anybody else used them for our unique Houston weather. I will be getting them later today.

I ran the Nitto Neogens on my Z which is my Daily. I ran 275/35/19 rear, 245/35/19 frt and they were excellent. Great traction dry and wet. The only thing is since they are asymetrical you can't flip them. I have gone through several different brands and thus far the Neogens were my favorite. One of my buddies had the BFG KDW's but he reported that they got loud. The 555's are dangerous...stay away from them. I ran Coopers and they were just OK. I currently have the Hankook Ventus V12s and they have been a pleasant surprise in that they have good traction dry and wet and the wear has been exceptional. I have a kid in college so I really am on a tight budget, hence the less expensive tires.

I am coming off the hankkook ventus as well...I really liked them too. it was going to take too long to get them in, so I had to go with the neogens.

Update
After about a week now, and heavy rain today, I can say these tires get the job done. Good traction in the rain, good grip in the dry humid heat...overall thumbs up.
