PTHEARTS Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi guys. What a fantastic owners club i must say first of all. Ive been looking out for a 350z for almost a year now and have finally got one! any comments would be welcomed! ive posted a pic but i have a little question already: Does anyone know if run flat tyres are ok to use on my 350z? Im a new member and just noticed that i have them on the front. Can anyone help!? Thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SM0350z Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I dont know about the runflats but I cant imagine it will do the suspension much good as I dont think its designed for runflats (or was it ), but that said im probably the least knowledgeable on here, so wait for a proffesional opinon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi and welcome! Interesting looking Zed. I think the wheels will be marmite here. Looking forward to more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Please most more pics. I agree with Digs about Marmite but I think they look good on first glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc350z Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Welcome ! I for one like the wheels and think your car looks Nice motor mate.. I agree with previous note that if the suspension wasn't designed for runflats then they will rattle it to death ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTHEARTS Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks guys, The pic posted was the one on the dealers site so ill take more. Before i saw the car up close i wasn't sure about the wheels myself but they look fantastic in the flesh! The dealer has offered to swap the tyres so im not sure if i should or not. They are a set of potenza tyres but god knoes what ill get offered instead. Should i keep em? More pics coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrain69 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 i was going to comment on the wheels before my computer crashed. i think they look fantastic. anyone know what they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Normally silver or grey are my least favourite zed colours but the shine on that is fab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Welcome to the club The Zed should run on run flats fine. But it wasn't designed for them so would imagine it might add some character to the handling characteristics or make it a bit noisier inside the cabin.

Maccaman Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi & to the forum. When I changed the Stones on the rears with more Stones they said the new ones weren't run flats. I always assumed from that comment that the originals were. By the way, on that pic the wheel look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
