Tires: Pirelli PZero Rosso or Yokohama ADVAN Sport
#1
![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So as some might know I'm looking for tires for my new wheels. I have 19" Work Meister S1 3-piece; 19x9.5 R Disk +24 front & 19x11 R Disk +36 rear. I'm going with a 255/35-19 & 285/35-19 tire set-up. Orginally I planned on running the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires but they are not offered in a 285/35 size till next summer. So now I'm tossed up between the Pirelli PZero Rosso or the Yokohama ADVAN Sport. Try searching for more info on the PZero Rosso's but didn't see anything recent or valuable. I heard good reviews on the ADVAN Sport's but would like to hear some feedback on the Rosso's. Feel free to leave a review for the ADVAN Sports as well. THANKS guys!!!

Get the ADVANs for performance but the P-Zeros for a decent all around tire. I've had Pirelli P-Zeros before and IMO the Yoks are stickier. The Pirelli's rode nice and had decent corning but the traction of the ADVANs (when there is still tread left) are awesome. The only drawbacks of the ADVANs I've encountered are that they wear pretty fast and the wet weather traction decreases exponentially after the first 50%
Edit: Robert why dont you add a poll.

Its a tough choice. Really wanted the PS2s. Thought about adding a poll but figured it would become a brand favorite poll vs. experience poll.
I don't want those garbage tires. IF I wanted those I would be asking about them. ![Mad](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif)

If you are considering Yokohama look at the Advan Neova AD07.

hey, the Toyo's and Kumho's are not garbage tires fwiw.....where do you get your info, ... from some haji over there!!?

Seriously, we track the Toyo's and Kuhmo's with great success. MX's rock especially for the money for a street tire. And the T1R's aren't bad either (having driven on them both in a G), but I really like the MX's better for the street. I drove on the PS2's as well, ... I do like them, ... but the MX's ride just as well, AND I bought 2 sets of rear tires plus fronts, for the price of just one set of the PS2's......still rockin' the MX's everyday, in 275/35 & 295/35!

as for race rubber, the performance of the Kumho's are great (V700 & V70A), ... and the Toyo RA1's are awesome too!! (I have a set for the street/track), many wouldn't spend any more $ on a tire that is a DOT legal race tire in either brand. They're just that good.

seriously, i drove a rental vehicle(Kumho tires with over 15k miles) the other day and i was totally impressed(same for toyo). i didn't think much of those tires before. If money is no object, Michelins FTW.

These were questions I use to ask my customers to help them find the right tires:
1) What characteristic are you looking for or must have?
2) What type of driving will you be doing? Track? Drag? Autocross?
3) If these are on you DD then what's the % on/off track?
4) Off the track use how important is wet weather traction? Understand you cant have both.
) Budget.
