What do you guys think of these tires?

[DjSquall]

Hey guys, so normally I run pilot super sports on my Z, but right now due to lack of stock, the only set available before end of May is the Toyo Proxes T1 Sports. I just wanted to get your opinion on these, are they a good tire?

No they are a dated design. not much better than falkins/nitto.

go with RE11's and call it a day.

RE11s on my Z feel better than PSS's

I've ran both and now that I have felt the grip of the RE-11s I cant go back. ordering another set for zdayz.

yah, RE11's feel so good and look fantastic too. im never going to run anything else on my Z.

my other choice would be the S04's i currently run on my G35C. those are great tires too, but not at the level of comfort nor grip of the RE11's.

the only thing that I cant get is when I look at specs of the PSS 305s and the RE11 305s.

pretty much identical but the RE has a tread width of 11.1 and the PSS 12.1......but the pss has skinnier shoulders and the RE-11 seems so beefy on the shoulder. hmmm conundrum lol

my car is bone stock with only photoshop so i run stock size 285/35/19's on the rear.
plenty of grip for me.

Are Dunlop max performance tires like the SP Sport Maxx any good?

If I remember correctly in another thread you mentioned that it was hard to get certain tires in Puerto Rico.

Sport Maxx tires are not great tires as far as I know. The Dunlop Direzza is more or less on the same playing field as the RE-11s. It might be worth checking out Tireracks surveys to see what wheels might come close.

You will note that the Sport Maxx tires are under the max performance summer tire category, and that they are rather low on the list.

Hope this helps!

Thanks man it helps a lot. I bought 20" wheels about 2 years ago and now that i need new tires it been a problem to find good brand tires like a lot of people are using here specially on 255 front/285 rear specs. My only hope is Tire Rack like you mention but the only specs i can get are Pirelli P Zero, Hankook V12 evo2 as max performance tires and Michelin but they are back order

[DjSquall]

Thanks for the input guys. I guess I won't be expecting much out of these tires -_-'

Still better than driving on steel belts though

The way I always describe the tires (I work at Costco), I always tell em the Michelins PSS' are great for daily but can be tracked. The RE-11's are a great track tire you can use for daily.

I run PSS' for my daily tires at the moment on my Juke and run Nitto NT01's for Autocross. I had RE-11A's prior to the NT01's.
