Searched through the site and it helped me quite a bit. I've been searching for a well priced, good set of tires.
I have it narrowed down to ...

Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 / Yokohama S.drive / Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec / Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport / BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2.

I read quite a bit of reviews and all have had good comments. I do not plan on driving on a trac or anything. Just some random aggressive driving on the streets at times. Stock tires were trash and I am glad to finally get rid of them.

Anyone prefer any of these?

PS. I live in South Florida so winter conditions are not any concern.

 

I'm partial to the "BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2." myself for daily driving.........very compliant, quite tire with confidence inspiring qualities, cool tread pattern...etc...


I have a friend that loves his "Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec" on his Z as if jesus made them himself.........I know him well and trust his judgment greatly...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it!

I also like the tread pattern of the BFGoodrich

 

I have the KDWs and would never put another tire on my Z, I absolutely love them. Confidence inspiring in the rain, grippy as hell in the dry, and quiet, yet they provide feedback. I'm at 30k miles on mine and have about another 3-4k to pull out of them...

 

I just put on the 760 sports on all four corners and I love them - major improvement over stock, cool treads, very good in rain and dry, good feedback, and oh-so quiet which I love. I am not a tire expert however, nor have I tracked my Z (yet) so I cannot provide an expert opinion or compare to the BFGoodrich or the Dunlops, although I was seconds from buying the StarSpecs until I found a killer deal for the 760's in the classifieds.

All three tires you have up there are great and I'm sure no matter what you choose, you will be very satisfied.

Let us know what you choose and how you like them!

Thanks everyone for being so helpful.

 

Go to this thread, scroll down to mid-page and read the scanned in article from the magazine...

Then when the link doesn't work. Replace the *'s with ...

"the three seventy z"

For example, if it were "the350z", then replace 50 with 70.

FYI, I have Ventus V12's on my Z (255 front, 285 rear)...they're nice.

 

you're lucky. i will help you get great tires. call andre at wheel's botique on bird road in miami. tell him i sent you (guy with red z on white te's).

Two words - NITTO INVO. his pricing is ridic (think sub $700 for 19" fit on 4 wheels).

he can help you get the others at substantially low prices installed. and they are VERY
safe to use for aftermarket rims - frankly, i'd trust NO one else in sofla.

I got all four in 19" for less than $650.

It's in Pennsylvania, place called Maple City Tire. They deal mostly Hankook.

 

Update:
I got the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 for (2 rear tires) for 300 all together. Decent price I guess.

 

Dang, guess I'll do a lil more searching.

 

Nitto Invos...

 

The pricing and quality I've experienced on my invo's surpasses every street tire
I've run. In the future you should go through the wheels botique.

Their prices mounted and balanced are usually cheaper than the nets shipped
on any tire.

Give them a try.
