New Rear Tires

[Technomancer]

Just got these babies installed. The floating in corners is all but gone now. Full throttle launches stay in a straight line as well. Hopefully this will help the 1/4 mile time a wee bit

Sweet - i loved the pss on my s2k. I‘m going with these newer psc2 or pss when the time comes. More than likely going with the pss since i will be street only.

Do you plan to drive this car on the street, or only track work? I know the cup 2's don't like rain. Also, how do the 285's fit, are they bulging at all?

Nice, I’m sure the performance will improve quite a bit!

How’s the road noise compared to OEM?

The 3" AWE track exhaust negates any would be tire noise...

Street/Track. I'm thinking about getting a second set of rims for the back so I can swap them out so as not to kill them too quickly.
Fitment looks pretty good. the middle of the rim is still farther out than the tire

10K km.. First time performance car owner so I melted them a bit...
The the metal chips on the pavement at work killed them completely

be careful in the rain, those tires are not fun when it’s wet.

Yeah I've been warned about this multiple times now
Maybe a second set sooner rather than later then...

i wouldn’t too frisky in the wet with any tire. I have a hard enough time with dry pavement.

Yeah those stock tires were definitely subpar for the power the Z puts down

Replaced my rear Yokohama tires this summer. Only got 8500 miles on them Geeze! Put on Dunlops(great deal at Tire rack). Such an improvement! Ride , handling and noise. Had the Z aligned thinking it was off but ended up being the crappy Yokohama tires.
