What size did you put on the front of your Z? 255s or 275s?

Tire
After much debate I decided on Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3s. I found that in reality there are several good choices of tires available. It comes down to the individual variables you want , price , preformance, wearability , and availabllity. Found mine at BigO Tires. ,$1146.00 ( 245/45-17 n 275/40-18 ) full set, mounted, balanced with free rotation. Guaranteed 45,000 miles , and price includes “Road Hazard Warranty”. Maybe a good deal maybe not but I really needed to make a decision. Found them on line a little cheaper but no national services so spent a little more to deal with national chain. There is no one tire does everything well, it’s a compromise. IMHO. Bob

Only reason goodyear broke loose was due to old age and having less tread.
Never broke loose with GY d3s and those are summer tires. Probably the best i used because they handled great in pouring rain.
