Tire Info
Do you guys want to make a list of what tires we bought after PZero worn out? and what you think of it? So that we can have a future reference.
set 1
1. (brand/model/size-if other than stock size)
2. (price paid, omit if you want)
3. (what do you think of it compared to stock PZero-quietness, ride comfort, dry, wet, cornering, track, road)
4. (how long did it last? omit if you are still on them)
(additional comment)
additional set 2
1.
2.
3.
4.
additional set 3
1.

3.
4.
etc...

1. 235/40/18 front, 255/35/18 rear, Nitto Invo
2. $671 shipped
3. (I got them today, so I will have them mounted and balanced tomorrow)
4. (will edit later)
I am very anxious to try them out. I feel like I am gonna drive a different car tomorrow, either superior or inferior.

1. Sumitomo HTR Z III 245/35/19 275/30/19
2. $887 shipped, tirerack
3. Handling is on par, but not exactly the same as with the PZeros. Traction off the line is improved slightly, still trying to master the throttle so not quite sure. Only real difference I noticed besides seeing more meat on the rear end is road noise/road sensitivity has gone up. I tend to feel highway conditions more and tires are a little louder, but bearable.A good tire for the price. I would buy them again maybe trying 265s out back next time.
4. Only 650 miles on them.

1. Nitto NT05's, rears only, 275/35/18
2. $478 mounted, taxes (out the door)
3. Grip is outrageous, better than new PZero's IMO; weight is only 28lbs/tire; surprisingly quiet...more quiet that half-worn PZero's, but I can't remember how the brand new Pirelli's "sounded". Dry is better than OEM, cannot comment on wet yet (only 100 miles on 'em). Road comfort is great. Cornering is better as well, as far as I can tell.
I got these for performance, even though I don't track it or drag race. I got 5600 mi. on the Pirelli's, I don't expect to get more than that on these Nitto's. I am anxious to hear how the Sumitomo's perform, given the wear rating of that tire and their cost effectiveness as well. Also interested in Dunlop Star Spec's.
