mUrdOckZ32 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hey Folks! How´s everyone? I am Planning to buy 2 rear tires on my z, actually I have 2 Yokohama Advan sport but they need to be changed..Yokohama is kind a´expensive and I think the drive is not as good, despite this..I am fitting a 255/40 RZ17 94Y and that size is not available on Yokohama.So the question is... what tires you would strongly Recommend me that goes Good with the Z? I checked on http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire-brand.jsp and each tire has a good and bad score..some people tell me that Falken is very good..some other´s tell me that I should go for some Dunlop..so now I am somehow confused..so as always 300ZX UK Forum is the most experienced on these matters..can I get some suggestions? Happy Weekend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu300SMZ Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have Michelin Pilot Sport 255.40.17 on the rear of my car and find good traction and good for road noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx-eyes Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Falkens for me, however i would of thought if you can afford better ones then you should :) I bought the falkens as they get good reviews as an intermediate tyre at a good price, and i can tell you they are very good and i have'nt had any problems what-so-ever. HTH :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Zed Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 DONT buy Avon ZR's series, they are absolutely rubbish on anything but absolutely dry conditions, and they wear quickly, like 3000 miles and illegal. I was shocked when my son dived under the car one day and then pronounced that my back tyres were almost bald, and then I was pleased because I could replace them with something better, Dunlop Sport, superb.
