Hi, thanks for checking out my thread & thanks for any ifo you're about to contribute!

Well, I guess I'll start off with this....

I'm buying new rims(NISMOs), I need new tires. But I dont know what to get for tires. Heres some info on my car.

-2004 350ZR Silverstone 5AT(please dont say anything. You love your 6MT, I love my 5AT...)
-TCS
-NISMO sway bars
-stock suspension
-NISMO Rims (Silver)
• 18" x 8.5" (Front), 18" x 9.5" (Rear) one-piece forging (offset: .25mm front / .30mm rear)
Front: 18.1 lbs (8.2 kg), Rear: 18.8 lbs (8.5 kg)
• Recommended tire size: 245/40-18 (Front), 275/40-18 (Rear)

You probably dont need all that info (other than the rims) but I thought it would help none-the-less. I'm looking for a nice set of summer tires that will compliment my rims & do a better job than the stock Potenzas. If you could please help out by giving me some brand names to look for, or if you have these rims or would even like to say what tires you re riding, it would be appreciated! Thanks again!

summer tires are great if you plan to only drive in summer. on my NISMOs i switched from a summer only to the Potenza RE960 AS tire. they are not like the crappy stock potenzas and for a all season performance tire, these perform great in rain and dry. had them on since March and I have no complaints.
