New Tire Suggestions for an Everyday Z
I've got a 2011 Touring Edition/Sport Package with stock Rays. I've gotten nearly 30K out of my stock tires... currently they're pretty worn flat on the outside. As you can see, I don't push my Z hard at all, but it's time for new rubber.
My main concerns are: 1) cost 2) tread life 4) less noise 3) performance I'd appreciate any suggestions given these criteria. My Z is my everyday car in Austin, and I drive up to 75 miles a day, so I'm not looking to break the bank for high performance... I keep a smile on my face all day long driving the Z, even when I'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic! Thanks for your help, Mike |

Tire Options
I only was able to get 22,500 miles on the stock tires.
I currently have Conti DW's. They are as loud as the stock tires over time as they wear. Others like Michelins PSS for performance and less road noise but, they are expensive. Check into the new Proxes (I think they are manufacture by Toyo tires) which are claim to be less noisy as they wear. Mickey Thompson new street comp tires look good for the price however, I do not know anyone that as purchased them yet. |

Michelins PSS might be expensive but if you look at cost of ownership it's probably the same as something similar. The ratings are very good all around.
