Help me choose some new tire guys, I am at a loss.

I got 7k on both s04s and PSS on the rear, and I hate the PSS btw, they suck.

Potenza RE760's

Anything more expensive is overkill for the street

ltullos

Fully agree! I ran these on my Z32TT until they were no longer available in stock size and found that they gave great street performance with longer tread life, a bit smoother (esp when cold) and quieter than the S04s. I also ran one set of RE11s and rears were gone in just over 6K mi.

These were also first set I bought for my 370 and I'm equally satisfied. I paid $1047 @ Discount Tire (fully mounted, TPMS kit, NO mileage warranty) and got just over 12K on the rears, and am currently at 14K on the fronts. I also tracked just after replacing rears and they performed decently there as well. From previous experience with my Z32, I would probably go with Michelin PSS if I wasn't concerned about cost, but RE760s has been the best all around compromise for me. I can enjoy my spirited drives without completely emptying my wallet.

I've had 2 sets of the s04 already on the rears. The first set I got maybe 13k and I was babying the car. The second set I barely got 10k. The fronts still have another summer of meat left. I drive mostly highway.

Just picked up new wheels and they need tires. I'm thinking about giving the conti DW a try. But the s04 where a really good tire in the rain and dry. I ALWAYS had traction.

Those re760 stink. I had a set of those on the rear for a summer. I lost traction in the rain all the time

I've ran all kinds of tires and I like the RE760's, I've never noticed this traction loss that you explain but I have been driving a RWD car for a very ling time so I don't mash it in the wet from a standing start.

For my purposes (SoCal Weather) they work great

PSS is the best tire I've had on any car.

At Firesone getting the Conti DW installed right now. Bought themm on tirerack, who managed to get them shipped and delivered the next day. Way to go Tirerack. Hopefully I like them. I'll review once. I have some mileage on them.

clean the sidewall real well with RC car motor spray or this before dressing.

Do I do that now, or later when cleaning the tires? Is there an issue that I don't know about?

Nitto Invo, the grip is that of a race tire and it makes the car amazingly quiet .... you will not want to use another tire again. But everyone has their own opinion, a friend of a friend that didn't like them, etc. I had them 3 times on my 350z and can't wait to burn the Bridgestones in my 370Z to put Nittos instead

Good thing I saw this thread, was planning on getting s04 over v12 since they're on sale now

f1mclarenagr

Yeah they are decent competition tire. Terrible wear though. Wouldn't consider them as a street tire . More like a street tire you can drive to the track. The Direzza Ii is event better. I use those as my street ax setup on my Mini Cooper . They are the bomb.
