Which Tire Do You Like?
 
What does everyone think of the Nitto tire, which one is the best street tire they make?
The NT555
The NT05
The INVO
or The NEOGEN

Also is 245/35/20 with 20 x 9 wheel the widest to go on front and could I fit a 285/30/20 on the rear with a 20 x 10.5 wheel, or do I need to stick with a 275/30/20?

Thanks for everyone's input!

Every tire is different. I've fit a 315 on a 10.5. S I'd say 285 would be more than fine on most models.

im running the nt-05 and i dont like them. next month im getting some re11's and try them out

I run NT05's in the rear. They are good for the price but I feel like my AD08's up front are stickier. The NT05's are going to have more grip than the other Nitto's you mentioned, but they wont last as long.

None of them. I hate nitto tires from actual experience. They break loose non-progressively.

:iagree:
I have had Nitto's on a few of my Z's over the years. They like to break loose without any notice. Michelin Pilot Super Sport or Bridgestone S04 Pole Position are the way to go, unless your car is exclusively tracked.

So with all your experience which street tire do you like best for performance and handling. I've always had toyo proxies and they were ok. I'm going to be running on a20x9 and 20x10.5 wheels.

Hard to say which one is my favorite as tires differ by size and application. Even for "street" that's a very broad category. I've tried many different tire brands and models and Potenza's polepositions have been most consistent through the years.

I've had my Potenza RE-11's on for about a year now, and will probably get them again when these wear out.
They handle the corners at speed, quieter than stock, and stick in heavy rain.

From my browsing, it seems that the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO and the Bridgestone RE11 are very popular among 370Z owners. I've had a set of Nitto Neo Gens in the past and I wasn't really happy with them.

I know it's not a choice...but I really like the RE11's over the NT05's

:iagree: Never had mine in the rain yet though.

How many miles do you have on them so far?

Red__Zed 05-14-2011 10:01 PM

those are quite the range of tires. They all perform very differently. I like the nt05s best of that group.

For a 20" tire I've been reading a lot of real good reviews on the Toyo Proxes T1R. Have any of you liked or disliked them? I think the Michelin PS2 would be the other option, but the T1R's right now are my first choice.
BTW; Thank you for steering me away from the Nitto's they havent been to highly liked!

Davey 05-15-2011 04:49 PM

I have mainly used Bridgestones and I wish the RE11's came in proper sizes for the 19" sport rims.
