Tires for everyday driving???

synolimit

Hard data. Only 1 test it lost, wet and dry braking. Everything else it won over the V12 and some tests over the other 2. Kills it everyday and track driving.

And tires are like the stock market, everyday the price jumps and falls. Mine when I bought were way down. Tomorrow they'll probably be down too.

That's interesting, I wonder why they'd be rated one way on what I'm seeing, and differently on what you're seeing? Crazy tirerack...


How much does a set run you?

V12 would be a good choice on price.

What size tires do you have on the car now?

oh.

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

kenchan

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

XwChriswX

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.

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

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.
