Just wondering what tires(money no object) best suits our 17" stock wheels. When I say suits I mean best traction off the line since our cars have a sh!tty amount of torque steer. Sorry if this has been posted before but my search does not work. Thank you.

 

Michelin Pilot Sports A/S 225/50/17 or 235/50/17

 

These are tires are by far the best investment made second to my suspension!

 

Thank you

NT2SHBBY- I met one of your boy's, George on Saturday at Maximum Tuning. He was getting his y-pipe installed, I was getting my headers done. He had mentioned your name so I recognized it.

 

yup thats mah homie.....sup bro?

n/p...also those are all season if you are looking for more of a summer tire- get the Bridgestone S-03 pole position...very sticky tire with an excellent tread

 

I'm looking for something to reduce that sh!tty trction we have off the line, You know exactly what I mean.

 

either tire will help with grip, but not torque steer homez.....

if you wanna alleviate torque steer, you're gonna need a LSD and/or PR motor mounts

 

Greg, how you liking the headers?
How do they sound?

 

Yeah I hear you, I guess The Pilots will have to do. Thanks

Give George a holla and tell him the headers aren't too loud. How is the y-pipe workin out.

 

Very pleased w/ the y-pipe

 

Good to hear about the y-pipe. The Headers are great, Not loud at all bro, I'm sure you could deal with them. The only problem is my right foot has gotten significantly heavier since Saturday lol.

 

Good to hear. I might have a new future investment

 

bastard...stop rubbin that ish in....

not only am I without y-pipe, I'm without the $325 for the pipe and worse, I'm without my focking maxima to put my damn y-pipe on IF I HAD IT!


I do, have on the other hand a scratched up 04 sentra that has better handling stock than did my maxima modded and its even peppier too


life just aint fair

 

I like my Nitto 555 extremes in 245 45 17. I know this size isn't recommended for the 7" wide wheel but I have not had any issues. These tires are sticky, quiet and good in the rain. But, I hear they suck in the snow, so living in Jersey this might be an issue.

 

thats what i have. LOVE THEM

 

i have the pilots in stock size and they dont impress me.they are much better in the rain though!

 

Falken 512s are a popular choice. Available @ Sears. Many consider them a cheap alternative to the Pilot Sport A/S.

 

I have the Falken 512's (aka "poor man's Pilot")...I love them, especially in the rain, and they are directional. They are similar to the pilots, just a tiny bit softer (even have similar tread pattern). I wanted the Pilot Sport A/S but could not justify spendin $200 a tire. The Falkens were about $110 each and I've had them for about 4 months now and they handled all the winter weather great!
If you have $800+ get the Pilots. If not, and you want an all-season tread, I suggest the Falkens (oh, and they come in stock size)...

 

Definately the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S!!!! It'll make you regret all that time you spent driving on those crappy Potenzas.

Advice: Find the ABSOLUTE cheapest price online and NTB will match it. check out www.discounttire.com then take that price to NTB and make them throw in the valve stems, road hazard and balancing. I got my full set for $800 installed.

They are great tires. They stick like glue, and they are awesome in the rain.
