I am using S04s right now and think they are great as well. If you don't feel like spending on PSS they are a very good choice. :tup:

You are already losing traction in the corners. Do the above recommended.

OP - I never heard of this tire brand and really couldn't find much info about them.

Basically it doesn't look like it was designed to be the high performing tire you might have expected.

My advice is to drive like a granny until you get rims then you use them as a second set of knock around/temp tires. ie be a safe driver first.

The widest tire I could find in the Rapist is a 255/35/20 for $89. My bicycle tires were almost that much.

Well looks like its time to save up for a good set of tires. Till then ill drive like grandpa in the corners.
..they haven't lost traction when I punch it in a straight line...these tires confuse me...

ill report back in a few hundred miles when they are properly broken in.

Should be good for doing donuts and burnouts. In a safe and legal manner mind you.

That'll get the rears worn out real fast.

I am currently running A/S 3 and I love them. They will last you longer than PSS and traction is very good at launches and corners.
I also had V12. Don't get those. After mine were half way used, traction was like zero specially straight line.

The other thing to do is go out to the TireRack.com and look at their comparisons. Many reviews of many different tires. Many things to take into consideration. PSS are rockin tires but not good in cold temperatures. If the Z is your daily driver, and you will drive it in the winter in PA, and you can't afford another set of wheels with more reasonable winter tires, that could be a problem. Do the research and make a decision that fits your driving across the entire year.

If you don't mind the cost, PSS. Bridgestone Potenza S04 is another good option that doesn't cost quite as much.

Stay away from the V12.
