Best tires in 2020

justin_boy · 01-02-2021, 03:20 AM

why not advan A052's? Ive heard amazing things about these

i'm actually kind of on the same boat

I'm currently running nankang ar-1 and i have maybe 1 track day left in them. I am heavily considering the nitto nt01's considering how they are super consistent with grip until they are toast. But recently i've seen alot of people running the A052's and ive heard amazing things about them. I also ran Ps4's which are the best 300 tw tire you can get. I think A052's are the go to if you want to stick to 200 tw. I also ran R888R's and after learning about the nitto's i would get the nt01's over the r888r's if you want to stick to 100 tw

my good friend used to run nt05's and now runs the nt01, obviously he says they are night and day

right now im stuck in between a052's and nt01's

Digitlman,
Your rear tires have the wear of someone who occasionally roast’s them off

Factory alignment in the middle of specs would yield normal wear (driving conservative)

Unsure how you drive, but if it includes burnouts on occasion’s, then have your rear camber adjusted to the least amount of wheel lean on chart....like just over -1.0*

Also, as they adjust your camber more positive (pulling wheels more upright), your toe will go more positive (wheels will turn inwards), so you may have to purchase some aftermarket suspension parts to dial into your driving style

More weight in rear or hard launches will cause rear tire to camber(lean) inwards more.

Thanks

You have a lot choices when selecting the right tires for your Z. I have always liked the Yokohama’s! I am on my second set of Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 R’s. Excellent dry and wet traction overall. Tread wear is above average compared to the other brand tires I have used over the many years. I had a set of Nitto NT05’s on my first Z they have good dry traction when you warm them up and tread wear can be less than average depending on how you drive your Z? I hope end up the right tires for your Z.

I am checking this thread because I am in search of summer tires for my car. I've been browsing the options on 4wheelonline while reading the recommendations on this thread. My car is a 2018 Nissan 370z model.

Non track/autox use, I'd recommend Michelin PS4S. They are comfortable, quiet, and great in rain and dry. They also grip pretty well around town and backroads, not needing a lot of heat.

I got the Firehawk indy 500's . Hope they work out well, They were very cheap.

Here is my alignment report:

And since it's a DD. Get your rear camber reset to -1.5.
