when the stock Yoko Advans are done I will switch up to the Yoko ADO8R.

Should be a good balance of grip and longevity for a DD.

just remember the r888 treadwear of 100 is a lie, they die QUICK.

I'm with you; only driven with N/A (so far ), but the PSSs are great. Lightyears better than the stock Yoko Advans on the NISMO, and with 305/30/19 on the back, no traction issues... yet there will be so many in due time, hahaha.

Being stickier than rated is a good thing!

Glad I'm not the only one that feels like r888s harden up And loose their grip quickly.
Even in the summer they were spinning for you? Temps are a good bit hotter here in NC than IL and I found the RE-11 are not that bad (in the summer). I felt I could get R888s overheated and spinning in the summer here, but maybe that was because they were old at that point (about 12k miles!).

Anyway, I have not heard of anyone (with first hand experience) recommending tires that outperform the RE-11s (other than R888s) as far as street tires are concerned. I am considering trying competition tires (below 100 tread wear rating, e.g. Pilot Sport Cup+, etc).

Ya no matter what they would spin. Everything spins at least 1st and 2nd on a good day in my car at full throttle. But the RE11s would spin just from part throttle boosting around spirited. It was like having real skinny tires in the back. Its actually a lot of fun to drive... but it totally sucks when you want to have fun with the HP you paid a fortune for.

only if you have the money to replace your tires ever 3-7k miles

My tires are currently bald and I'll be searching for new ones in a few weeks, so this info is helpful for me. No point me buying cheap tires now only to burn them off to quickly once the turbos are on.

Where here's the thing.. getting your car running without spinning in first gear is nearly impossible, the only way to do that is buy new tires and run them for first 5k Miles then throw them away and buy a new set and so on..

Chalres mentioned that these cars got bad IRS configuration. I think im gonna have to disagree with that. This car is actually perfectly balanced between power and handling.
I have ridden many other powerful cars and trust me, only few cars impressed me with their handling and grip rest were all dyno queen.

Now, as far as IRS configuration crap. unless you're compering it with Ferrari, Porsche, Austin Martin, ETC. this car is actually well balanced (besides the fuel starvation)

Its a good IRS, it just doesnt lend to traction with power. Corvettes, Vipers, etc, MUCH better. There is a reason you never see Z/G with appropriate 1/4 mile times, or accomplishing much of anything that involves acceleration.

I agree... I think the 370z storm is just beginning to brew.

FYI, got an email from Sam, and he said he'll send an update to the progress of the kits before the week ends. Said "things are moving forward nicely".

Thought I'd share!

I'm getting married in the end of March... gotta get the kit installed and tuned while I've got some financial freedom! ha
