What tires should i buy?

Post by **'90_240sx_Lover** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 2:23 pm

I'm only 16 but i still love my 240 and want to get a good set of rubber for it. I have the stock wheels (15's) but i'm going to buy some 17's once i get the money. I was wondering what what the best tires were for the money. Price is an issue though, since i'm still looking for a job. The tires on it are some crappy Penske things. They seem to work ok when its dry but once it rains its terrible. And since i live in washington state it rains a lot. They're so bad i can't start quickly at a stop light without doing a burn out, and i mean not revving it at all and just going. Its really sad. But thanks for your help.

I was in the same situation and ended up gettin bridgestone potenza g009... they are a good tire but are pretty bald from drifting and hard cornering, but they helped out ALOT in the rain. heres and article about them.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/tes ... tenza+G009

Well, this is my daily driver. I drive it to school and anywhere else so i don't really drift much. I don't drive hard all the time either, just once in a while. I'm going to read that article now though, thanks. Also, how many miles did u get out of them? just to know. The more the better for me

Just kidding. Actually thats your worst tire setup. I have the same problem in the rain. I'm only 16 too, good to see others my age on nico! I was wondering a good tire setup myself. I've heard good things about the falken ziex! Im gonna get those next, when mine wear out.
