I am planning on getting Pilot Sport A/S Plus from Costco for the rear tires..

what do you think? I do not track the car.. very very less spirited driving.. I want tires that are safe and have a good ride..

the pilot a/s are pretty good, but they don't last very long. also they appear very narrow for the a/s tread pattern.

my G came with them from the factory and they gripped very well for a/s tires.
if you need a/s tires, check out continental DWS.

Thanks Kenchan. I looked up continental DWS.. unfortunately costco doesnt selling them..

Any other suggestions? I dont think I would really need A/S however it does get below 40 here.. and I do drive the Z all year round just dont drive it in snow..

Wow, what the heck did you hit? that is some hole! (sounds like my prom night )

kenchan

do they sell Michelin Pilot Super Sports or Bridgestone S04? those would be my choices for stock size.

otherwise RE11's.

lol no idea.. the bang sounded like the back of the car fell off...

i think all names that costco uses are "non" standard they do this to prevent price matching issues..

here are the ones they have

Costco.com - Shop for Tires

will it be ok to get a pair for the rear now.. and then get a pair for the front some time down the road?

or If I want to get wider tires.. can I get the same size as stock for the rear now and then when the fronts are ready to be replaced I get these mounted on the front wheels and then purchase a wider set for the rear.. this will give me wider tires in front and rear in sometime...

lol where do you get that from? I work at Costco and there are tires that are used for "wholesale" but 95% of what we sale is same name as any other shop. We don't price match so it doesn't matter to us what the name is. If you haven't figured out, I work at Costco in the tire shop lol. We sell the Michelin S/S's and the Re-11's or S04's. I had a friend purchase a set of the S/S's under my membership and I'm getting ready to purchase a set of RE-11's myself since we are doing $70 off a set of four Bridgestones that started today.
