Pilot Sport 4S for the Nismo

BossJ · 07-17-2021, 11:11 AM

So I’m about to buy some new tires. I’m a stock 16 nismo - can I do 4S at 255/295 no problem?

Does it change driving style or anything? Anything I should be aware of?

Good to go. The 255/35-19 and the 295/30-19 are the same height. You will love them.

Wait….those profile heights with stock suspension will accentuate the wheel gap tho. 255/40 and 295/35 would be better for stock suspension.

Ok.

So I’m just looking to only change them to 255/295. Not change anything else.

I've used the stock Bridgestone's, then PS4's and finally Contential ExtremeContact Sport.

The Bridgestone's suck, they wore out instantly and in FL they slide in the rain badly.

The PS4 were great, they wore slowly but Contential's new tire is just as good as alittle bit cheaper.

I've had the Extreme Contact Sports in the rear for about 25k miles and they have about 50% life left. I haven't been doing burn outs ;P

PS4's or ExtremeContacts

I have been a pattern of wearing times in the F & R.

I'll probably go with the ExtremeContacts on the front and back.

Current I have 245 PS4 in the front and 285 ExtremeContact in the rear.

They both have been in almost freezing temperatures for almost two years in Atlanta, still about 45-50% life.
