tires for 350z?

[jsines350z]

I have ordered my turbo kit for my 08 350z and i have noticed that i have been a little rough on my stock tires. so Im buying new ones but i dont know which brands are good. I want a tire that is grippy and will last longer than the stock ones. Im moving up to a 235 in front and a 255 in back. Any info on this would be helpful thanks.

Do you have a budget in mind?

Do you store your car when temps drop and just need summer tires or do you need some all-season tires?

If you do need all-season tires do you need a lot of snow & ice traction or just an all-season/cold resistant rubber compound?

You also mentioned you wanted something gripper and longer lasting than the OEM tires. While that's certainly possible in regards to the stock tires you should keep in mind that typically more grip and longer life are mutually exclusive traits in a tire. All other things being equal a tire with a longer life will usually provide less grip.

Other people here can chime in with what they run to give you some help (your question gets asked every few months and I really think it's time for stickied tire thread). I am currently running General Excalims for the warmer months but I'm getting ready to switch over to Bridgestone RE960AS tires before the temps drop much more.

I vote Yokohama! I love mine and so far have done ALOT better than the stock ones! Better grip in both the dry and wet roads. The tread life seems to be longer too. I have the Avid W4S on mine, and would recommend them. The next ones i will buy will be the new Advans.

I'd love to just have to deal with Knoxville area snow and buy tires accordingly. But I live in the Tri-Cities and work over in Asheville, NC - the drive through the 4000 foot pass in the winter means better tires come "snow season".

I dont really have a budget, as long as they arent like some crazy amount like 300 a tire. and im lookin for summer tires.

I'm currently trying a set of Goodyear Eagle F1-A's. Z rated. I like them so far, very good in the rain.
