Ekona Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Either go back to stock 225/45 on the front, or move to a 255 width rear? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyS Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi all, had to replace all 4 tyres on my 370ZGT over Christmas. Previously had Bridgestone Potenzas now have Mitchelin Pilot Supersport. So from feeling unsafe at even gentle speeds and tramlining and wandering all over the road to WoW totally different car, Traction and grip even in wet is great. Difficult to wheel spin now! Also road noise is less. I never thought tyres could make a difference but its a totally different car. For reference I think the 245 PSS have been replaced now with the 4 or 4S, 275 still available. Strongly recommend these if you can get hold of them and have £1,100 - £1,200 to blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mx49 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 So whats the best mid range tyre (say £120 per hoop?) As all the previous recommendations seem to be out of production ? This is for a 350z on standard 18" Rays :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) For £50 more for all 4 tyres @mx49 I’d be going with these with 10% off today.

MPS4 are only £127.62 each for the fronts from Black Circles, before the 10% off (which Shezza forgot to mention is only for Michelin or Avon tyres, by the way).

SHEZZA Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hmmm link worked for me ! Anyway MPS4 from black circles with the 10% off worked out at about £530 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlos Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi. I've got the same dilema. Running on standard Pilot Supersports but have a puncture on the rear. There don't seem to be any Michelin performance options in 245/45/18 size. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Somewhere might have old MPSS stock, if not move to MPS4 all round. Or just repair the puncture if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorbash Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 My 350z tyre review: Many of you have tried quite a few tyres, many thinks for all the info you have all contributed. Sure helped me choose my tyres. So far I’ve seen the older Falken tyre reviewed here, so here are my thoughts on the newer 510’s. New: Falken FK510 Standard sizes 245/45 rear and 225/45 front. Great tyre, great price. As everyone has already said, they are far better for the UK climate. Grip and handling is up nicely and road noise is a little down too. They feel more predictable and if I give too much throttle they don’t make the traction control kick in as much. Old (when I bought the car): Standard Bridgestone Potenza’s on the rear Nokian ZLine on the front Yeap, same as everyone here, Bridgestone’s suuuuuck. Only good when it’s warm, +15 Degrees Celcius. But yes the upside is low wear, my half worn tyres lasted over a year about 12-15k miles. Nokian’s, well I must say they were pretty impressive. I think it may be due to the fact that Nokian make amazing winter tyres and the compound is more suited to UK, I prefer them over the Bridgestone’s too, but not the Falken's. If I were to buy a winter tyre I would look no further than Nokian, probably WR A4. That’s my 2p J Cheers All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKAT Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Tyre time again - I have RE050 Potenzas on all four paws. Time for a new rear pair and wondering about a change... Can I mix manufacturers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Read the sticky about mixing tyres and make your own mind up. I wouldn’t mix tyres at all given a preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N13GEY Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I've been using Michelin Pilot Sport 3's. A good tyre, quiet and long lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricochet Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Standard size Uniroyal RainSport 3's all corners cos i like the tread pattern, also it says 'Shark Skin Technology' on the side wall so they must be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's clever marketing but when Uniroyal use the terms RAINSPORT, SHARKSKIN TECHNOLOGY it makes me feel they're safer in the wet. Got these on our Kia Sportage. Couldn't get them in 175/65/15 for our Mini so put Uniroyal RAINEXPERT on instead. I mean, rainEXPERT.......EXPERT! Never really pushed either really hard braking/accelerating/cornering in the rain. So I can't really say more than they're doing well for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 One of the most odd tread patterns ever in my opinion, at a glance they look directional however they're not. Very much looks like they would shift standing water better one way than the other, they confuse me always have lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricochet Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 davey-83, why dont you think they are directional? 'OUTSIDE' is stamped on the tyre wall........ ps keep waxing those seats....... and i regret missing the last meet, if i had known all this would happen....... regards jc.
