Hey everyone, I just picked up some 19" wheels from a buddy of mine but with no tires. And I just wanted to know which tires are best to put on them. I'm lowered on Tein S Techs and I wanted the best option of tires that will not rub at all. Thanks in advance for the advise!! =]

 

I've got the Yokohama S drives and they've been good so far. And they are priced fairly well too.

 

^ Did you get the factory specs? or wider ones

 

The Vredestein Ultras are really great tires and pretty cheap too. Only about 800 dollars for a full set (with shipping)

VREDESTEIN TIRE Sessanta for your 2008 Model Year Vehicle - Performance Plus Tire


245/40/19 - 148 each
275/35/19 - 164 each
Tires - 642
Shipping - 150
Total - 774

 

go with either the Nitto Invos or Hankook Ventus V12...best two sets of tires i ever purchased....

 

I went up to 245/40's in front and 275/35's in back. Even at this width it was still way cheaper than the stock potenzas at factory width.

 

About 60% of the people in the G35/350Z club run the Vredstein tires and I havent heard a single compaint.

I currently have the Nitto 555 on mine right now and they are crap. I will be switching to either the Nitto Invos or Vredstein Ultras (depending on how much money I want to spend)

 

^ what makes you say that?

 

What makes me say the Nitto 555 are crap? They are the worst tire I have ever had. Perform poorly normally and shake pretty bad around 80 mph in the rain.

I only have about 2000 miles on the set and keep debating if it is worth it to just order new tires and trash the 555s.

 

Funny you say that, I get a little shaking at 80 as well and am postive it's not the spacers!

 

I dont have spacers so I know it isnt that. After the first time, I had my tires rebalanced and it still happens. I will never get 555s again.
