I JUST GOT SOME NEW TIRES FOR MY Z, ALL 4 TOYO'S, THE PERFORMANCE RADIALS, GOT ALL OF THEM FOR $250.00 total, THEY ARE AWSOME IN PERFORMANCE AND THEY ARE AMAZINGLY QUIET, AND THEY ARE RATED FOR 150MPH... ANYONE ELSE TRY THESE?

 

right on... where are the pics? and what size ya get?

I have Sumitomo's on the rear of mine... I think they're 235/55's on my 15" turbo rims. I love em!

 

Me too I'd like to check them out.

 

Toyo Proxes4? My bro is running those on his Spec V, they're not bad at all. They're a pretty forgiving tire and they communicate well when you push them.

 

they are the toyo proxies ptp, i got size 205/60/15R

 

and pics will hopefully come soon, ive been kinda lagging on them, but for sure this week, i hope, trying to find a good digital camera for cheap

 

That size is actually a little short for your car... It's going to raise your RPM's a fair amount on the freeway.

But, Toyo's rock and I'm sure you'll be quite happy with them.

205/60/15 is what the 280ZX turbo came with stock. That is the exact factory size to get.

 

exactly, i wasnt too sure of what size to get, so i stuck with factory suggested....i dont like embarking on adventures im not too sure of....so i thought, you cant go wrong with OEM

 

I Just Bought A Set Of Federal 255/40/zr17's For Mine, They Cost 650 Cdn, But Well Worth It. I Heard Those Proxies Are Great, What Is The Letter Rating, H?

 

I think its V? which ever letter stands for 149 MPH

 

Yeppers. Here's a page that I bookmarked for tire reference. Good info:

Crap! I don't know why, but I was thinking 205/60/14 instead of 205/60/15... Duh, big difference. OK everybody... the "Tire Guru" goofed. Sorry. I've seen a few people put the 205/60/14's on their Z's is probably why I was thinking that.

what would be the logical thinking of putting 14's on them????

 

you guys know what i thought was interesting, is the nissan sentra SE-R V-SPEC comes with Z-rated tires....not much of an exotic sports car look....but supposed to be fast little cars...especially with the 2.5L 185 HP engine, with i think 190 torque...just thought i would throw that out there, i almost got one for 18,500...

 

Ya, the newer spec-v comes with a 6-speed manual. They are pretty quick little 4-door cars.

...but I'm sure that torque peaks at 5000 rpm, not 3200 like a 6-cyl does.

 

ahhhhh...someone who doesnt get fooled by abstract advertisements...

 

I have Pirelli P500's on mine, but they were on there when I started the project.
