All I know is 19" 305 Michelin PSS tires are big $$$$$$ I expected better grip from them. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to use after I burn these off.

Why not 19s? Stop teasing us and let us know what wheels you got.

So you're not happy with them eh? My Honda buddies are all trying to steer me away from the PSS, I think they want me to get Falkens.

Maybe I should just get Ventus V12s and call it a day.

DO NOT GET FALKENS! I have had nothing bad things to say about them!

I'm sure they would be awesome on a NA 370z with bolt ons. I only imagine it being worse for me if I went with hankooks or something cheaper like that. I need a traction control unit and some drag radials.

LMBmikeZ · 02-06-2014, 09:05 PM

V12's yes probably fine, but falkens just stay far far away! Save your money and buy a half decent tire! IMO

LMBmikeZ · 02-06-2014, 09:10 PM

you would probably get better life out of a set of winter tires on the Z through the summer then running falkens!

zefaulter · 02-06-2014, 10:51 PM

Just did some price check on tirerack and size comparing websites. to keep the size close to stock, you need 275/40/18. Per tire that size, you can save only $10-$20(for PSS that's $60 per tire). just saying, I wouldn't do it just to save that much

wouldn't what? go down to 18's?

Ire · 02-07-2014, 02:32 AM

i didnt get 18s for the tire savings. im going to be slaying tires all day anyway

i mainly went with it for the weight savings. i went with an 11 inch rear width. even at that width they're 17.5 lbs each. i went nuts after holding one in my hand, i couldn't believe it.

does this mean you will be tracking the car since you are looking at saving weight?

when I get wheels I am thinking of going with 20's. but I do not plan on anything competitive for the car track day wise, would just be for fun and to legally speed/drive really fast!

Yes. I'm just arguing the price point. weight reduction/performance gain side of it is something I would like to know about though. I hear 18" you lose some traction but not noticeable.
