Tire Manufacturers

I am currently shopping for new tires. Currently Im running
Toyo T1Rs (245/295)

My new tire size will be (245/275)





I have gotten many quotes and it has come down to these:

Toyo T1Rs

Falkens

BF KDW#s

Potenzas

I want an aggressive tire, with good tread wear as I do alot of highway driving, but also hands in the rain as if it were dry pavement.
The T1Rs I have now are good tires, but they have worn fast and aren't cheap to replace.

Any thoughts?

Falkens and BFGs are great tires, but they get loud very quick. Tread wear isn't as nice as everybody claims either. I stuck with Bridgestones myself. The Bridgestones that came with the G sucks but almost any other of their tires are much better all the way around.

100 times better then Toyos and rest of the competition.


the only down side that they are not symmetrical so you cant flip them if you got bad camber


Look for reviews on here and My350Z.

These are incredible tires........and they are allot cheaper then the competition.

I've had good experience with Falken FK451 (now replaced by FK452), probably best price for treadwear, dry and wet traction. I could punch it in 2nd gear in heavy rain without wheel spin!!
