So everyone that has driven a Z or watched some videos on the Z launching, knows the tires are crap. Too much spin.

Does anyone have any recommendations for me? It rains a lot where I live but it does get sunny and warm some days. I do some spirited driving. My other car is a CTR so I'm used to making aggressive turns.

Any input would be appreciated 👍

For me Michelin Pilot Sport 4S best all around.

There are lots of great choices. You need a good performing Max All Season set for what you're using them for. Check out TireRack's reviews and comparisons, traction, noise, long life, etc. then decide.

What about continental extreme contacts? I have them on my sky redline and like them a lot.

Posted on other chats but curious when folks make their tire swap to see pros and cons on what they select.

Such as, less step out of rear end, better cornering, better ride etc... and/or ooops...I made it worse.

I think Im going to go Michelin Pilot PS2's. I will definitely give a review. Already ordered new rims too. So it'll be sometime next month.

Great! I see you have rosewood, how do you like the color? I’m due to pick up rosewood performance manual near end of the month or early April.

I think it will be fun to watch the tire swaps given a lot of the negative reviews are tire related and if a $1200 +/- tire swap resolves a few of the issues probably a good spend. Sell oem on Craigslist lol saves a little on swap.

I have the Extreme Contacts on my Subaru, they grip well and QUIET rolling, not bad pricing also. Tire Rack rates them highly as a Max A/S tire.
