Nissan 370z / All Season tires possible?

spearfish25 · 07-02-2009, 04:58 PM

I just picked up a set of 4 LM-25 Blizzaks for the 19" sport rims from TireRack. Total was $950 shipped. I just plan to swap the rubber on my one set of rims.

Michelin pilot sport a/s tires work in the winter. Are known for there excellent
Summer tire like performance. And have a lower profile than most all seasons.
I haven't seen those on a Z. But on the genesis coupe they were able to get
Away with a 1inch drop. The well looks deep enough for the Z but I would ask
A pro 1st. I'm just going by sight n nothing else. My guess would be you won't
Be able to get 20's with all season michelins but 19 should still give u enough clearance.

If you plan on driving your Z in the winter, personally I wouldn't go with anything wider than a 225. I plan on buying some 18" rims with 215's or 225's anything wider and you will not have very good traction in snow. This I have learned from experience. If your Z will not see anything more than just a dusting of snow then width shouldn't really matter much. I'm waiting for the tire rack to figure out the correct rim sizing and offset.

stock 18"s are 225 and 245 i beleive

or buy aftermarket rims for cheaper and have 225 all around

225/50/18 is the way to go...
