ive just had my hsd smoothie coilovers fitted, and now after the best tyres to get. any advise on the tyres? my mate has avons on his scooby tyre r, so might go for them! any suggestions

What's your budget? That's 50% of the deciding factor!

about £150 a tyre might pay a little bit more!

what sizes are your wheels/tyres.

 

i have just paid £130 fitted per corner for my 265/35/18 they are falken fk452's which i rate quite highly tbh.

 

that was from blackcircles.

Falkens or Dunlops are going to be your choice then. Pretty sure Avons are going to be quite a bit more. But that depends on what sizes you're after I guess.

I`ve got Vredestein`s on my TT, at £135 a side they are not cheap but hold the road great! better than falkens imo, I`ve done the rounds with tyres over the years and i find these the best.

sorry guys forgot to mention the size of my tyres. 265 35 18 on the rear 235 45 18 on the fronts

Try Camskill, very good tyre prices and very large selection.

DON'T bother with Avons - they're rubbish!! Despite the price, Avon tyres cannot keep a ZX on the road!!!

 

A lot of people on here swear by Falken FK452s; so I guess there's a lot to be said for that.

 

On (both of) my ZXs I have had Avon ZZ3s (absolute rubbish); Goodyear GSD3s (excellent tyres; but didn't last 5 minutes); Dunlop SP9000 Sports (again; excellent tyres and good value); and now on my latest ZX I have the new Goodyear F1 Asymetrics. And I have to say they are superb!!!

 

I use this place - they will come to your home or office....

I have 225/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the rear; all four cost me £578 fully fitted; valve and balance etc!

 

I cannot recommend the tyres or the fitters enough!

I have Toyo proxes on the rear and have been very pleased with them. They aint cheap however i think tyres is one thing that you shouldnt go budget on as it is going to keep you on the road at the end of the day

Wise words mate - and not just for a 300zx; but for any kind of performance car!

Mitchelin PS2's

Bridgestone potenza's

Toyo proxe T1R's

or R888's for the hardened tracker

Bridgestone potenza's

 

Agreed... have them on mine, really good and seem to be fairly hard wearing
