hey guys,
its time for me to get a new set of tires.. the problem is i dont know to much about what is good and what is not..
as of present i am ridding on bridgestone potenza's...
should i just get these ones again?
i guess im looking for a decent racing tire but something that wont be worn down within one summer..
any suggestions??

 

BFG G-Force KD's or KDW2's...Yokohama Advan Neova AD07...Nitto 555's...Toyo T1R's...all of those are great tires for daily driving & racing

 

Nitto Neo gen tires, designed to handle all weather and even camber from lowering... great all around tire IMO, I run Nitto 555's and have been pleased with the tread life and grip but they will wear a little faster if you have unadressed camber issues.

 

Whatever you buy make sure its gotten good reviews for
wet conditions, unless you want to put up a future post of
how "I TOTALED MY Z " Hydroplaning is not fun........well at least
not sober

 

lol!!!!

 

You'll hear this time and again- do a search! This topic has been covered so many times. The short answer about the OEM Bridgestones is don't even consider repurchasing that model.

Forget about "racing tires" as well. Consider a high-performance summer tire with a UTOG of near 300 if durability is a priority. There is a wide selection available from a variety of tire makers.

Nissan Sport Magazine just tested an all-season model from Nitto for our Winter '07 issue (on newsstands now)! We also have some R-compound tire reviews planned for upcoming issues.

I recently purchased a set of Mastercraft Avengers ZHP's. They are about $120 a piece, so they are on the inexpensive side, and they work well. The only complaint I have about them would be that in the cold, (like 10 degrees), the tire compound hardens to much and the slip and slide. So if you live in a warm climate year round, these would be good tires for you that won't break the bank.

I've got Cooper Zeon Sport All Season tires on my Z. ran about $105 for each front, and $110 for each rear tire. Been on for only a couple months now, but I really like them. Very good all weather traction. No complaints here.

I'd suggest getting a set of All Season tires, this way you're prepared for just about any type of driving condition. Down-side, if you wanna call it that, dry traction is very good, but not as good as the dedicated summer tires. All season tires will usually last longer though.

 

FWIW, I run Kumho Ecsta SPT's 245 and 275/18's. Summer only tires. Pleased so far with 9k miles on them. I got them from TireRack.
