Its such a stable tire especially +20mm all around width. #Planted

Plus 15mm spacer all around and Eibach springs!

I think it's misleading to anyone who looks into these tires

johncy2000 · 02-19-2014, 10:23 PM

Revised.

I just made this same decision as well. They are sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.

I had them on my g35 and was extremely impressed. I could have bought the pss but for me the s04s were a better fit.

and look at the rim protection with a 285/35/19 SO4 on the rear nismo rim (10.5" wide)

I agree with OP. These tires are too good to pass up for the price. Im running 265/305s with boost and the car feels phenomenal. Was $900 shipped from tirerack.

How are they in the wet?

Subbed.

yah as fuct posted, they are very good in the wet. better than the DW's from my experience.

cold and wet performance is night day vs RE050A (and RE050A PolePosition) as well.

Pricing these tires in the 265-305 configuration now. Best price so far has been 1125.00 mounted and balanced.
That sound reasonable for DFW area?

Wet performance is great. 65mph in a 1/4" of rain was not in the least bit questionable. That measurement of rain may be worth a grain of salt...But the road was covered enough to where Im positive the stock RE50s would've been sketchy above 40mph.

Yah, that's a normal price I thinks.

I paid 1200 first time around. 2nd time I took advantage of tirerack's sale and $50 gift card and came out 850ish for 255/285 config for my G35C.
