You are a week too late sir. I just ordered a different brand but if I had seen this review a week ago I would have easily gone with these. Guess I will have to settle for selling them to all my customers! W00T!

Doc,
Thanks much for the informative post. A couple of questions:
1) It looks as though you have 18” Nismo wheels -- 18" x 8.5" (Front), 18" x 9.5" (Rear) (offset: .25mm front / .30mm rear). Is that right?
2) How would you rate the sidewall stiffness? (I realize this is quite subjective, but maybe you could compare these tires to the stock Bridgestones)

sidewalls are WAY stiffer than the Toyo's I have ran in the past. That is one thing I really didnt like about Toyo is the soft sidewalls.

Thanks for the write-up. I wish I'd known about these before I bought my BFG KDW and paid a LOT more. Next time, I'll give them a try. BTW, exactly where is your car dirty? Maybe I need a new monitor.

It seems like these run a little narrow for their width. I find it funny how the tire industry treats mm measurements as subjective. The sidewall looks perfect but the fronts look like a 255 and the rears a 275. Not that this is a problem as long as people order with that in mind.
I think you scored with this set and thanks for the write up.

The autobahns #1 rated tire.I've been running these tires since july and find them to be the best tire I've had on any of my Z cars in years.
The grip is great gives the confidence to push the car even in the worst of conditions. Steering reponse and handling differences are instantly noticeable and they run so very quiet. I run 245 35 19 in front and 295 30 19 in the rear on Piaa super Rozzos with 25mm offsets. The roads here are a disgrace but the vredestiens smooth out the ride tremendously so much better than the P6000's I took off and they seem to be wearing very well too.
Amazing tires at an amazing price, they cost more in europe buy now!!!
