I wouldn't trust another Riken Raptor tire on my Z, since I had a brand new one pop on me.

 

I just replaced the stock tires with Falken 452's four days ago. So far much smoother than stock tires and they handle well in corners and feel good at high speeds (got them to 105mph). Check out tires-easy.com.

 

So got some Nitto-nt 05's haha totally went with something different after????was gonna go with vredestien ultrac sessantas but the guy i was getting them from cant get those?? so then i was gonna go nitto invo and just at last minute changed...
275/40-18 rears and 245/40-18 fronts for $690 mount/balance...what you guys think??

thanks for the help guys i will keep those tires in mind for future reff.

 

Sounds good..

 

That's a very good deal. Where did you buy from?

They will blow the other tires away in performance, but won't last as long and will probably won't be as comfortable or quiet.

But no need for bang for the buck tires if you can get them for cheap in the first place.

 

Thanks.
Yeah i always had one eye on the nitto nt05's but was looking for the 255/40-18 size witch they dont make on the 05 so started looking at invos came out to be cheaper then the invos so i jumped on it and went with 245/40-18 front.. i gave the deposit and then latter thought about the life of the tires.. i know they wont last as long as the others but oh well no turning back now haha plus they look really aggressive, i like thatand i rarely race anyways so they might last a good while?

My bro told me about this shop in Corona CA were he got his tires for his gsx..its called JLB MOTERSPORTS (951)734-4411 ask for Dustin(the owner) hes a nice guy and trys his best to bet any buddys price and guarantees his work.they have a web site also but dont sell tires you gotta order from them.

i used to have nitto nt555's on my infiniti j30 and they freakin sucked in the rain
i was hydroplayning all the freakin time worst part is one of my rear tires blew and they only had like 5000 miles on them(worst tires or maybe its my luck)

 

I am running Nitto Invos Awesome.....

 

~$700 for 275/35/18 275/40/18.

I just flipped them for the first time.. >25K miles. I have a good 10K left on these.

I've dragged, autocrossed, and tracked on these tires. They last, grip, and wear well.

 

I was running Falken 452's and I loved em'. I have heard alot of good thing about the Nitto Invo's as well. When you get a chance, check out Vredestein, not alot of people know about them, but I have heard MANY great things about their tires and the price is hard to beat. I am currently running NT555 stretched, well see how that goes as alot of people mentioned traction sucking when it's wet. I might have to be careful with these or switch em' out if that's the case...

 

In the nitto category i say nt05 and invos non else...
I seen a video and heard Good stuff about vredestien ultrac sessantas Nice tires

 

best tire for the price... nice tread design, too!

 

Dunlop Durezza Star Spec Z1's

They are "out performing" the RE-11's. Good price and excellent grip for street and track. Better get them quick before they ratch up the price AGAIN.

 

Not quite - check Grassroots motorsports for a good comparison. They were consistently outperformed by the RE-01Rs, Kuhmo XS and RE-11s.

 

Been hearing great things about the Vredesteins...I think that will be my next purchase.

 

You can't go wrong with them....

 

Can you guys post a few links on where would be the best places to get these tires?

 

The cheapest place I have seen tires was www.onlinetires.com;

Do you guys think the Nitto's and Falkens are better buys the stock Potenza's. Im going to buy a set of 365/35/19 for $319 each (from Firestone)

 

Any body tried these out??? 700 for front and rear after rebate VENTUS V12 EVO K110 By HANKOOK
