Hi there

I am wondering what the stickiest streetable tires are? My car is having a little trouble hooking up. I really should install my Quaife too. I have been too busy/lazy to do that. I am waiting until my engine is done! My tires were spinning at 80 mph which is a little out of hand! The ground was slightly wet though.

Thanks!

 

Bridgestone Potenza SO-2's, S0-3's or RE050 Scuderia, if you can find them.

 

I think finding tires sticky enough for your car is a lost cause. The laws of physics are really against you.

BTW, does your turbo cause anymore vibration or metal to metal rubbing when driving or is the VQ as smooth as it was NA?

I have some Potenzas on already, they came with the wheels which are stock 2002 Maxima wheels. Thanks!

 

The only issue I have is with my cold air intake which moves out of position every now and again and clunks when I accelerate hard. I think some silicone or rubber would fix that problem pretty easily. I have had a few other issues, but they have been fixed and those fixes have been applied to the kits. Some things you can only see after some time. Now everything seems to be pretty solid!

 

The first thing you need is some wider wheels, it would also be
benificial to have the largest series tire you can fit (ie,
biggest sidewall) so the tire can flex some to grip the ground
better. I'd say bridgestone SO3, RE730.

 

Do you need it for the street or just for drag racing?

For street i would recommend the SO-3 and drag racing.. 15 or 16" rims with drag slicks

 

yhea, Re92. Justa a little different from SO-2's

 

I have the S0-2's.. There summer tires.. I have them but I live in NYC. It's brick as hell here. I keep breaking loose on the tires.. But when I used them in a lot warmer weather they stick like glue.. How are the S0-3's?

 

Re92's are crap...I would suggest s0-2, s0-3, pilot sport, or nitto 555r drag radial.

I have the RE730 and they're great. The RE730 have a better treadwear rating than the S02 and S03 but that's mostly because the S02 and S03 are better performance tires. If you want the best, go with S03, if you want just excellent and no more, go with RE730 2nd gen (the 1st gen are very noisy and they stopped making them so if you go with the RE730, make sure they're 2nd gen and not 1st gen).

Oh and if you only want to buy one set instead of one summer set and one winter set, I recommend the Nokian NRW or WR (NRW is last year's model, WR is this year's model).
They're excellent all around tire with great dry traction, wet traction AND snow traction. These tires (IMHO) are the best all-around tires (dry, wet, snow) tires available on the market. You'd still be better off with two sets though if you can afford it.

 

I can't wait to pick up the S0-3's.. How much they running for now adays?

 

You will soon see a new Re750 with UniT-AG, the next generation of UniT-AQ. They will probably be my next tire.
