Advice for replacing stock tires on 2024 Performance

[Anneem]

Looking to replace the stock tires on my 2024 Performance Z. I’ve seen the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 recommended many times and Costco currently has them on sale. I know little about tires—I don’t know what I don’t know. I see talk of spacers, etc., and haven’t a clue. I love Costco and these prices look okay, but can I trust their installers to know how to deal with this particular car? Are there things I need to ask for or point out? I’d really appreciate input and advice. Attached is Costco listing. Specs below picture.

Front set of two $599.98
Back two $639.98
Staggered Fitment Sizes
19” 255/40R19
19” 275/35R19

Really can't go wrong with Michelins, I know a friend who got a good deal on tires through Costco and I don't think it's a bad option, but installation experience may vary...

But those are the all seasons. Will they be sticky enough? I would recommend 295/35/19 on the rear for better traction

Costco great prices they want you to come back pretty often like every 5k miles but you if you’re Z isn’t a daily driver that shouldn’t be an issue..to rotate them or they wont honor the mileage warranty at least that’s what i was told .. doesn’t cost anything but a little time consuming.. i had a hyundi banger that i had brought tires from them it was my work car i was doing 25k a year so in like a year i was sitting around 5 times lol

I wouldn’t let Costco touch my rims or my car. I’d buy the tires from Costco and take it to a tire shop that has experienced dealing with high-end cars, Corvettes Porsches, and have them mount and balance the tires. You’re going to open yourself up to all kinds of problems letting the $15 an hour 19 year old tech work on your Z.

I wouldn't worry about Costco installation since most SUV's and minivans they work on cost more than the Z.

Thank you, this is my concern. I know someone who briefly worked there and fit your description exactly. Now to find a trustworthy, experienced shop in Northern Virginia that won’t try to rip me off…

Noted, thanks. This is exactly the kind of thing I don’t know. Though it’s hard to imagine any tire being less sticky than these piece of shit stock tires.

I went through tires.com and got the Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ with the OEM specs for my Performance Z. I have taken a few corners and never heard the tires squeal ... which means I need to go faster
The stock 007s sucked ... like a whore on crack.

I would NEVER put a 500+ tread wear rating all season tire on a sportscar (unless winter tires, or drift/burnout fodder). Both tires mentioned in this thread are going to be less grippy than the already struggling stock Bridgestone's, which are a 280 treadwear max performance summer tire.

Your tire candidates should start at max performance summer tires and extend to extreme performance summer tires if you'd like to improve grip substantially.

I have to respectfully disagree, only on the point that if you use this car as a daily driver, the stock 007s suck in ANY weather. All weather tires work well on my Performance. I have had the car for almost a year and only reached 6k miles today. I don't track it, but I have posted video of making a run on the stock tires --- I only lifted because I could feel the tires losing grip.
Here are the links to the videos, first and second runs:
First Run
Second Run
I haven't made a run with the new tires, but I can to test out a newer dashcam ... the GPS in the RedTiger couldn't keep up with the acceleration...

This is is what confuses me, on paper the 007 should be decent. I wonder if they are a cheaper oe version or something. I was considering trying Firestone Indy 500s just because they are a dedicated summer and cheap.

295s on the back? Why? It's the wrong size.

Nitto G2s all day long for me!

Michelin.

My 2018 coyote would roast Michelin tires in 2nd gear. Highly advise against that junk.
