oh well atleast another week until we get snow up here in Kanadia! (okay really i hope for no snow until November...)

My rear tires went bald. So I swapped them out for a different set. They were the O.E yokohama. I'm running a temp set of rears from my gf's Z. I noticed an increase in mpg though!

you on 18's or 19's? i tossed out my advans with about 3-4/32 left and went RE11's.

such great tires. whole different level vs advans.

Zerocool · 08-05-2014, 08:33 PM

18's for now. Still looking for wheels. Trying to grab a set that I haven't seen on a Z yet.

The advans are really expensive lol. I didn't realize how heavy they were too. The tires of I have on the rears are 5lbs lighter on each side

yah, those advans are kinda dated performance too... the 19's are fairly light vs the bridgestones.

if you want light, go with continental DW. those things grip fairly well and very light weight. like 5-6lbs lighter than the RE050/S04 in 19's.

i run DW on my weds.

I said the same thing when I picked up my z at the stealership.

"what the...advans? what is this fast and the furious circa 2001?"

I like your weds a lot. They look great on the z. ah decisions decisions

Thanks! And pretty good, the bracket fit perfect, the seat is a bit big up top so the seat belt sits in a weird spot, but it's manageable.

haha I did a sprint/tempo workout on my road warrior yesterday too! Now sitting feels great

Roddy1 · 08-06-2014, 12:51 PM

Washed it. Got home and reminded myself yet again that I should not have bought a black car.

with LM60's you might be able to wing toronto winters, but i always
thought my car was a sitting duck in the ice/snow when i ran my G in the
winter with LM60's. my car was fine, but could not help but feel i will
get hit by other cars. never doing that again.
