what are the best tires for the Z?? why?

 

[studybuddy]

The best tires are going to depend on what you want. Drag radials might give you the best traction, but are going to suck going around a turn and will only last a few thousand miles.

What are your priorities in a tire? High milage, cornering performance...?

 

[ayman350z]

exactly....it depends on what you are looking to use them for.

What tires are best for super perfromance dry and very good wet also?

 

[SS21CA]

Go to tire rack, and look at the comparisons/reviews... I just bought the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 for my rear...


This is the comparison based on buyer reviews.. good place to start IMO http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresult...ay.jsp?type=UHP

Aren't those on back order? How long did they say it was going to take before you got them?

I'm looking at the KDW as an option, but I don't want to wait weeks for them.

right now i have Kumhos on mine. I want a more high performance all season tire and have been leaning towards the pirelli p-zero nero m+s of the BF KDW. The Kumhos were great as a summer tire when i was stationed in texas. pretty good in the rain as well but they suck in the snow.

Steve350z, what Kuhmos do you have?

I am running the Ecsta SPT and have been quite surprised at their wet performance.

SS21CA, check out where the stock tires are in that, looks like anything is an improvement.

Well, I ordered on Tuesday, and it said they had stock in their Nevada warehouse. Shipping was roughly $24 for 2 day Fedex, and $23 for UPS Ground (est 2day). I spent the extra buck and got mine in 2 days gauranteed.

I got the stock 245/45/18 size for the Rays so...

That is usually the case with most cars... My concern is dry performance, I live in SoCal so i want grip and good treadlife on the streets. Rain is always a consideration but, it doesnt rain here too often.
