I have a stock 2004 350Z with the factory tires and 17" factory wheels. I recently was awarded $600 from a claim with Nissan due to their feathering. So, that's my bugdet to buy two good front tires.

I'm looking for something better than the Bridgestones obviously, but something that matches the rating and performance of the Bridgestones since I'm keeping them in the back. What do you guys recommend?

 

I recommend www.discounttiredirect.com and www.tirerack.com and check the reviews and ratings of the tires.

 

What do you guys think of these tires? I'll probably buy two new back tires as well even though I don't need them

This looks good because it's all-season tires and it's rated as a high performance tire.

 

They look fine to me.

 

I'm riding on the XGT Z4 after going through 2 rear sets of Michelin Pilot Sports in less than 2 years. The Z4 is quieter, looks better, are cheaper, and seem to be wearing better, a very good touring/street tire.
