What tires give the 370z sports pack best handling?

ubs234 · 09-24-2013, 06:41 PM

Compared to the stock tires, what are the best set of aftermarket tires for handling. I want tires that will improve the 370z sports pack handling. Also are good for street.

Michelin PSS

I plan to get michelin pss when my stockers are done

ubs234 · 09-24-2013, 06:55 PM

Oh wow alright then! And they have like the same size tires front and rear as the stock setup?

Plus I've been hearing the bridgestone RE-11's are like the best street/ performance tire.

tastes and preferences differ...I think a lot of folks do run the RE-11s too.
I love my michelins! Sticky but not too-huge difference in the rain. IMHO

just go to tirerack.com and you can enter your car make/model then it spits out all matching oem sizes for different manufacturers. Michelin PSS's are one of the more pricey ones (~1300 for a set last time i checked). Going just from what I've read about the RE 11's they seem to be an amazing track tire and great street tire, while the PSS's are an amazing street tire and great track tire. You can't go wrong with either, just from the testimonials on this forum that I've read each tire has a slight bias towards either street or track. That being said, those are probably the 1 and 2 most preferred tires that people around here like.

So would you say the PSS have better wear and are better in the rain then the RE 11?

On tire rack the bf Goodrich Gforce rival killed the re11 in the dry. Because of there better sizes I believe I'll go with them.

Also lighter and better mpg
