350Z Tire Recommendations

[dalton13]

Coming up on the first tire change after the Camber repair on my 03 350Z. I have the Touring Edition with 18" Rims, and was wondering what tires everyone has had the best luck with? I want high-perf tires that can handle well in rain, best with a water treadline. But I want to make sure I get tires that don't have the dual compound that suck once you get to the tread marker...

Here is what I currently have on my 350z. Azenis ST-115 tires from falken. They are pretty good tires and I trust them very much. These handle rain pretty well. It rained couple days ago in california so I had a good chance to test the tires out. Worked great =). and it works very well when I go out to practice drifting.

To save tires ( Since I'm not that rich ) I use the Falken tires on my front tires and in the rear tires I put the tires that came with the 350z that I bought. They have some wear already and I need to find another set of low priced tires for my rear wheels.

When I don't practice drifting I put back the Falken tires on the front and the back. Just a tip if you drift your 350z =).

Hope it helped

Pilot Sports or look into the BF Goodrich K-Force ($$$ better). Ps2's are great just don't expect more than about 20k miles, they will be toast. Don't buy their All-season version, either - hard as heck, not grippy.

BF Goodrich T/A KDW, very grippy and better bang for the buck.

That's what I meant when I said K-force, really meant KDW. Skip Barber schools use these along with others, they are very good.
