rasco Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 OK so before anyone says wrong tyre size for the Z, my wheels are the 19" rays from a G35 and are narrower than most 19" rims, so AFAIK I can't fit 275/35/R19 on the rear..... Need new rear tyres, currently have MPSSs all round and love them. Try to find some in my size and its £240 per corner, before fitting.....! Swear last year they were around £150, but guess as they're getting rare..... Would like advice on alternatives that I can easily get hold of (I don't want to buy my tyres off ebay). MPS4S would be a great decision, but not available in my size. Currently thinking AD08Rs are the way to go but still £192 per corner delivered..... My Z is single turbo, 370bhp, would it be unwise to go with the MPS4 (Ekona?) as this is a replacement for the MPS3 and not MPSS....? Any other suggestions very welcome!!

rasco Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 for example, is MPS2 still a viable option, as I am under the impression this was replaced by the MPSS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Its easy MPS2 was replaced by MPSS, MPS4 was the replacement for MPS3, MPS4S are the replacement for MPSS until the new MPSS is released, until then MPS4 is the replacement in some sizes Basically if you want 19's MPS4S are the best performance tyres, MPS4 are supposed to be decent but not as performance focused.

rasco Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks fella, but how does an mps4 compare, say, to the ad08r or eagle f1? MPSS was the clear favourite but with mps4 at £170 it's tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 MPS4 is better than MPSS by every account I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasco Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks ekona. But do you mean the MPS4 or the MPS4S ? I assumed it was MPS4 < MPSS < MPS4S am i wrong? I hope i am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 You're wrong. MPSS -> MPS4 -> MPS4S The multi-compound of the MPS4 makes for more grip & feel over the MPSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasco Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Excellent news, thank you!! I'll be buying the MPS4 then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
