Default New Tires - QUICK! Potenza going flat as I type

My Z is out in the alley right now, right rear going flat as we speak (screw from the alley...)

Potenzas are bald anyway, so changing tires-


Choices are -

Michelin Pilots - 200 bucks and up
Kumho - KH11 - 121
Pirelli P6000 - 140
Goodyear - Eagle something 160-180

What do I do?

Kumhos will be cheaper than the rest and much better than the stock Potenzas

You drive a Z... get tires that can perform as well as a Z (PS2)

Pilots or Potenza REO50A'S they are really good tires and when you break traction provide a different and pleasant screeching noise. They are nearly on Par with PS2's. Im really impressed. Try 285's in the rear if you have 9.5" rims or larger they fit perfectly. Assuming proper offset.

We're offering a $50 mail in rebate on a set of 4 Michelin of Goodyear tires right now.

Also, if you go with the Goodyears, Goodyear is offering a $75 gas card until the 8th of October.

Thanks,

Chris

There are more than 500 “best tires” posts, and I’ve posted recommendations from Consumer Reports many times. Please search. Thanks.
