What should I get? I don't track my car, only spirited driving on back roads ones in a long while. I prefer something quiet and handles nice.

Any input will help, thanks!

P.S. I have 19s wrapped in SO-3s right now, and they are getting quite noisey!!

 

T1S will be the best riding and least noisy of that bunch

 

tires already!!??

 

I am leaning towards Toyos myself. Any suggestions on where to get them cheap in the Bay Area?

 

I don't have any direct experience, but I'd guess that the Michelin would be quieter, looking at the tread pattern. But I've been wrong before.

How about overall performance? How would these tires rank from 1 ot 3?

 

I have not used the PS2 on a Z yet, sorry

 

try chad.

 

yeah, CHAD will take care of ya...

 

I need some wheels and tires. How do I get in touch with Chad? The only chad that comes to mind has to do with the 2000 election.

 

haahaa.

no the "Chad" we are referring to is not hanging or dimpled.

he runs a local shop here called "Kartoyz".
his screenname is KarmaMag

Just went from S03's to T1S ... During the first week I posted a positive review about how they grip fairly well, except for the additional bodyroll.

I retract the praise I gave these tires. At 6/10ths of the car's handling limit, they stick just like my old S03's. But recently late at night I tried a turn at barely 7 or maybe 8/10ths and almost lost it with serious loss of grip from the new 255/35 front toyos where the S03's would grip without a single complaint.

The bodyroll really saps away confidence, and the traction is definitely not predictable. Although if you're looking for a comfortable, sporty ride, these are a good choice.

Thanks for the review! I might lean toward the Goodyear...or possibly wait for the new Toyo that's coming out in the spring.

 

I guess some PS2s are in order!!!

 

Or check out the Continental Conti2. Some pretty decent reports on that one.

 

we sell all brands of tires, as we have been a Tire Rack dealer for a long time. I will say this much - I have driven my Z at 10/10ths more times than I can count, and have yet to reach the limits of the T1S on the road.

S03's are fantastic tires as well - I used them on my S4 and loved them.

 

I vote for T1S all day everyday. Yes they do slip especially full of air! But thats the fun with the Z, its a race car on the street.
I would be pissed if my tires stuck to the pavement. If I cant slide I rather die!
Seriously; if I was in a race on a track and it wasnt a drift- I would hate these tires...... Theyre down right dangerous.
But like I said thats the fun with racing around your city; slipin and slidin all over town.
