Nismo Dunlops

[up4speed]

I like the OEM Dunlops on the Nismo. I have 6 track days and 5,800 miles, and they are pretty much toast. I could probably squeeze one more track day out of the fronts, and 2 or 3 out of the rears, as long as the weather is dry. But since I also daily drive the car, I'll probably change them asap, just to be safe. I have 3 out of 4 almost new tires (a forum member was gracious enough to give me his 3 tires that were in great shape (one rear had a blowout), since he decided to try a different tire. I will buy the 4th rear tire and mount those for now, but I was considering trying the Yokohama AD09's. I may try those next time. I would love to hear how they compare to the Stock Dunlops from someone who compared them!

With 200tw and those track days, those 5K+ miles is about right. It's a proper summer performance tire, no wonder the Nismo grips so much harder than the terrible S007s. 200tw is usually the lowest limit for a 'street' class at sanctioned track events.

So far the tires have really been a huge improvement over the s007. It does expose the Z suspension more so now.
