Help with tires

JC's Z · 11-07-2011, 02:04 PM

It is time for new tires for my 40th Z. I am looking for a tire that offers less road noise without giving up to much performance.
Anyone find a good quiet tire yet???

Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Should be quieter and offer better performance.

Continental ExtremeContact DW also should be a bit quieter without too much of a performance hit.

if you like the RE050A's ride, stick with S04 Polepositions. they are significantly quieter than the RE050A's and grip is better in dry and wet.

The DW's are fine and they work well for quiet ride. performance is on the softer side but depending on the kind of driving you do you might like them better.

I'm loving my PSS's. They do everything better than my stock Advans.

If performance is important, Re11.
If you want them last longer without giving up much performance, PSS.
If you are in SoCal where never see rain, then AD08.

Hey....it just rained Friday and it rained yesterday

+1 for Michelin Pilot Super Sport's, if you can swing the extra cost

nitto 555

Nitto 555s are a very old design and are prone to dry rotting very quickly. There are far better options available now.
