What size tires do you have on the car now?

205/50/16's. :tup:




oh wait, thats on my dd. :icon17:

i run 245/40/19 and 285/35/19's.

I meant the OP on the base 18's :icon17:


Why so much stagger? :icon14:

oh. :icon17:

wait, you asking me about the stagger in my tire size? those are nismo sizes. :p

:hello: Hi Casper!!!!

Amen, everyone is all over the :nutswinger: of RE-11's but it is completely overkill

I run Potenza RE760's now on the Z, more than capable

I thought Nismo front was 255?


:hello: Waizzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! Long time no see br0!

:tup:

nismo sizes are 245/40/19 and 285/35/19. :)

Err. Yeah, I thought they were 255s in the front to maintain the same stagger as base since its essentially the same wheelbase.

i mean you can run 255/40 if you want. the sidewall height difference is only 4mm.

HTR z3 still out performs it and is still cheaper. For a max summer tire you can't beat the price and performance of this tire. If you want more you're going to pay a lot more money and lose longevity.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm gonna go w/ the HTR Z3, for the price seems it cant be beat, and if I did go with the DW's for pricing, will I notice a difference driving? I do drive aggressively every now and then, but other than that its my everyday car.

235/50 18
245/45 18

ive not driven the HTR Z3 so can't tell, and at those widths even DW's arent going to stick very well. :icon17: hahaha

I drove 20k on the DW and 5k on the z3. I haven't noticed much which is good since the DW was a AWD WRX and the z3 is the 370z. Of course I can burn out and drift easier with RWD but fast aggressive street driving they were both good and I'm sure the 370z could keep up with the WRX. Only complaint I have is drag racing. The Z3 does not launch well but hey, its a 300utg tire.

Those tires don't look right. I'd go bigger.

EDIT:, yeah wrong choice. That's 0.6" difference, to much in my book. Keep it under 0.5".

Safely you can go 20% over your width of the wheel. I'd go 245/275 unless you want more square for performance, then maybe a 255 or 265 rear tire. But 245 is max on the front and 275 max on the rear.

I'd get a 245/40/18, 265/35/18 or 275/35/18.

Not sure what you're basing that off of??

From TireRack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=MP

Sumitomo HTR ZIII - $750 for OEM sized set
Hankook V12 - $774 for OEM sized set

So the price is marginally different.

just to let you know, i had tirerack install new S04's a couple of weeks ago in 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 sizes on my G's new CV201's... and with labor and tax included, only came out to 946. and i get a 50 gift card from bridgestone, so i pay 896. :tup:
