If you are getting a decent set, like say Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, you will be in the \~$125-180/tire range depending on size, plus mount and balance.
Absolutely. I live in northeast Ohio which has lake effect snow and I’ve used a second set of wheels with Blizzaks for years. They are almost as good as having 4WD. You won’t fishtail around corners and braking is good.
I drive spiritedly and the performance of the WP has not been disappointing although they are definitely not summer tires I also do not lose traction as easily in water or cold (New England).
So far, I have to say I love them! They are WAY quieter than the OEM Khumo's I pulled off my Seltos and the ride is excellent with them.
do these tires fit on stock 370z wheels ?
I just bought some myself for my rear im a first time user of Federal so my opinion should be valid ig you can say but I’ve had them for about a week now 265/35/r18 federal 595 rs-rr to be exact. Besides the fact that they look cool my mpg surprisingly went up, they’re superrr sticky and handle curves/corners just be careful the first couple of miles considering that they’re new tires you’ll probably lose traction from the fresh rubber but no big deal. The only downside (for some people) is that they are noisy personally it doesn’t bother me bc I have no mufflers and I listen to loud music but if you’re someone that is picky or sensitive to noise I’d suggest another tire other than that I’d rate the tires 9/10
Bridgestone turanza 225/45/19, it’s noisy but I love’m it lasts for ages
One thing to note with 200TW autocross tires is that they usually will heat cycle out prior to the tread being done. For RE-71R's, that was always at about 125 runs with mine when I could get away with 200 runs and ~5k or more of street miles.
Note to self, don’t cheap out on tires. (Federal SS 595). These aren’t bad bad but for autocross they need to be better.
I just turned 500 miles on the Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS that came on my SE. While they are far from the worst tire, I can't help but feel that it's a terrible match for the GTI. Even with the traction control, it's struggling to get any kind of grip off the line, and I'm talking like quarter throttle. On a brighter note, they don't squeal much around turns and are relatively quiet.
