Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
 

I would suggest that you check the manufacturer's website and check out your choice of tire before purchase. A lot of the performance tires are intended for drag racing. They can get kinda squirrely on the street, especially if you like hard cornering.
What is the intended purpose of the tires? Some are auto cross designs, so they would be great for summertime driving with heavy cornering.

Fit seems nice on my 285s, I have yet to drive it

Before and after I changed the wheel offset. Sticking out is before

Boy, stock tire size availability (street tires, at least) is weak. Even compared to 2016.

Boy, stock tire size availability (street tires, at least) is weak. Even compared to 2016. I passed up a set of 18s a while back thinking I wanted to stay with stock sizes. Now it’s looking like even 18s are thin on the ground in +1 spec. Prefer not to go to 19s though.

I just today installed Nitto 555-G2s on the front of my Z. (One of the front tires had a punctured sidewall. They were 6 years old, so I replaced them both.) The rears have 2 wait till spring when I plan to install Nitto 555rs (drag radicals). I've been very happy with this combo for rain, drag racing, mountain twisties!

This will make the 3rd set of the Nittos on my Z and Ami's Z has them too. That said, I'd be interested in what ppl have to say about the Pilot P2s. Worth the cost of a wheel upgrade ya think?

I changed from the Goodyear’s to the Michelin’s last year. Front just street driving, the ride of the Michelin’s is superior and quieter. I haven’t run them in the rain or tracked them yet. I might get a feel for rain driving when I go to VIR this weekend. My experience with the Goodyear’s is based on 78K miles both on the street, track and severe rain in Florida. My experience with the Michelin’s is only a few thousand miles... I will track them in November at VIR to be able to provide a real comparison.

Had Nitto Invos on my ZR for several years. Liked them and they were good driving tire and in the rain. However, the Michelin SS is a better tire Better ride and grippier.

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
 

Just bought a full set of Nitto NT555 G2 Looking forward to trying them out.

FWIW: the 555s work great on my BMW 540i-6
Reasonable $, took very little weight to balance, run quiet
and are wearing well.
