I just bought a pair of 19" Volk Racing TE37s. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Gunmetal in color. I am so excited for the rims. Anyhow, now I need to get tires. I've read some reviews, and I am wondering what some people are suggesting, I've made a list of the tires that have been named (No particular order):

Bridgestone S03 PP
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Michelin Pilot Sport
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Nitto N555
Toyo T1-S
Yokohama AVS Sport

As we all may know, value is important, but I am willing to spend the additional amount if it is worth it.

Tell me any personal experiences with any of the tires as well. Hopefully I'll make my purchase by the end of the week, so I can get my tires and rims on soon.

Thanks.

 

i think u should really narrow it down to 2 tires, 3 max.....if money is not an issue, go with the ps2 or goodyears...also, you have to tell us what size tires you want because not all of those brands carry the same size....doh

stay away from the avs sports..

 

555's without a doubt!

 

the nittos and yokos do not come in proper sizing for the Z in 19

i recommend the toyos... I have falken's myself but heard the toyos are the best bang for the buck in terms of performance, price and weight (don't know about treadwear)

 

go with the PS2....michelin tires without a doubt if money is not a concern.
I've tried the F1 GSD3....they are great but not as good as the PS2. maybe u can run 245/35 F 275/35 R ....or any other possible combinations you desire.

 

Very happy with my Toyo T1S tires and would purchase these again.

 

tire sizes:
275/35/19 rear
245/35/19 front

ive heard that ps2s are the best tires available. but are they worth 330 a pop?

also, ive heard if you buy 285 and 255 for the rear, it can protect the pricey volks. true?

There is a comparo with most tires, the F1s have a nice treadwear rating. But still the ps2s arent included. Im willing to buy the ps2s if like ive said 10 times they are worth it. if they are gonna need replacement in like 3 months, ill be screwed. i drive highway a lot as well. but i want tires that hook up when a punk *** in his mustang revs his car and wants to race.

"ive heard that ps2s are the best tires available"

Michelin is the #1 tire manufacture in terms of quality and technology, no questions asked.

the F1's will have better treadwear than the PS2.
As refernce F1 has UTQG rating of 280AA A....versus PS2 220AA A....and SO3 220AA A.

But i'd say if you are mainly travelling ....go with F1's, or if you are a performance enthusiast like me....buy the PS2.

hope it helps!

 

220aa wont last u over 15k miles. that is not worth it.
