Looking for suggestions on a good overall tire that is quiet and reasonable in price. I currently have BFG KDW's and they are way too LOUD!!

 

i guess toyo's i would just shell out more for some pilot sports. at the same price range i dont think there are any better performance tires then the kdw-2's.

 

Yes the BFG's are the best performing tires hands down but they are just too damn loud for me. Need something that is quiet and performs better than the stock OEM tires.

 

BFG RE050a Pole Positions?

 

Invo from Nitto , sticky , quiet , great ride etc etc

 

I’m running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I absolutely love this tire with only one criticism (that comes last in this post). These tires are very quiet (less tire noise than any tire I’ve run on the Z), stick like glue to dry roadways, and provide exceptional grip on wet roads and in the rain.

They also provide a very comfortable ride because they have a soft sidewall. You will initially notice the difference between this (soft sidewall on the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3) and the stiff sidewall on the OEM Bridgestone tires. But, I adjusted very quickly to the soft sidewall; and after a few hours of driving, I didn’t miss the stiffer sidewalls on the OEM tires.

Warning: When you first drive on new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, they feel just awful (almost like they are slippery and skidding). That is because they have a layer of slippery grease and soft sidewalls. After 50 to 100 miles (depending upon how you drive), the slippery grease is gone, and the tires feel great. Be careful driving those first few miles.

Toyo T 1rs

Michelin PS 2s

F1 GSD3

Above seem to be best including quiet. I put T 1Rs on mine. Very quiet, good ride, & will get 25,000 miles or so from them. Guys who drive aggressively say the sidwalls are to soft but I've not noticed it

 

Before buying tires check these test results:https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ighlight=tires.

 

I think you meant "Bridgestone" RE050A PP

 

potenza re-01r got them on my fronts right now replacing rears in a couple weeks and i love them already. Check out tireracks reviews on them better then just about every tire out there.

 

From what I’ve read and experienced firsthand, I believe you’ve listed the best selection (cost and performance-wise). I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these tires.

The Toyo’s are the best value. Everyone with these tires report great performance, comfort, and economy.

Obviously I like the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. These tires cost a little more than the Toyo’s, but I think they have nearly identical characteristics.

I’ve never heard anyone with Michelin PS2’s say anything except the best about these tires. It’s a fairly expensive tire. The PS2 has a slightly more stiff sidewall than the Toyo and Goodyear, and that might be enough (with all else being equal) to say it is a better performance tire. The high-end sports car manufacturers (i.e., Porsche) supply this tire as OEM equipment.
