Try Kumho Ecsta LE Sport they are decent for the price. Very decent. I went through a set on my vette they ran me around 800 OTD.

I have the stock 18"s and just added rear 275/45 and I decided to go with the FALKENs. I paid about $160 for each tire which i think is decent.

I bought PIRELLI P- ZERO NEROs for the front two.. SUPER Grippy. I think i paid $180 for each of those.

So I did all 4 tires for about 800. with installation and tax.

I just got 4 new michelin pilot super sports (stock size - 18's) for around $850 shipped from discounttire. Pretty cheap and I hear they are great tires as well.

+1 for the Kumho Ecsta LE Sport tires.

A few customers of mine have purchased the tires through us and they have nothing to complain about!


A very good tire for a low price!

There is a tire that is popular in the euro tuning community. I cant remember their name right now, but I have seen them talked about on here and saw them on a 300zx at a meet last year. The guy really liked them and all the reviews seem to be real good. I priced out a set for the Z and IIRC they came in under a grand for all for staggered.

gaveup I find it hard to believe you got Michelin Pilot Super Sports for 850.00 even if they are 18s. The best price I could find for 19s was around the 1500.00 range.

Makes a huge difference with the size. Remember how much wider the 19's are compared to the 18's. When I switched to wider tires on my Z my 295 Super Sports's for the rear cost over $400 for 1 tire.

Loving my Nankang NS2's super grippy, and very meaty tread. I think I go them for $155 each
