Don't forget the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta.. These Tires aare great so far. I have 315/35/17 in the rear and 275/40/17 up front. Great dry weather traction and cornering. you will know exactly when the tires are ready to break traction. I will definitely buy these tires again. Not to mention they have a very aestheticly neat design.

Re: Member Tire Reviews
just take the 'web.' part of the link off and they still work fine.
got 2 new Nitto nt555s today. had a flat on one of my goodyear gsd3 tires go flat, and then found out the one on the other side had a crack around the entire circumference of the sidewall. so, moved my other gsd3s to the back, and put the nittos in front. too early to tell how they are yet but they seemed like they had a larger sidewall than the gsd3s so that was kinda odd looking. love the tread pattern on them tho, will start putting some real work to them tomorrow and see how they go.

Im running 275/40 r19 Nitto NT-05s on my B4C the grip is amazing, going into turns it just holds, and it takes WOT just to do a tail whip, anything less and your just being pushed into the passenger sear of the car! these tires are perfect for going around a track! the ride isnt exactly smooth though but hey gatta give some to get some

Re: Member Tire Reviews
As you can see, posting a non-related topic in the "tire review" sticky doesn't work as far as getting an "urgent" response. No, a 295/45-18 is a 28.5" diameter tire, about 2.5" larger than stock. Won't fit very well. Even if it did, you'd need 3.73 gears to make up for the loss of torque due to the oversize tires.

Eagle GS-C's
Just got 4 used p245/50zr-16 Goodyear GS-C's from my mechanic uncle that he had taken off of his Z before he sold it 5 years back. He said they'd have 10,000 left on them and put em on for $75! Before I had 3 Kumhos, and a shot RR tire that was unbalanced. These are a world of difference. These tires are amazing in corners- so much confidence because it feels like I could tell before they would give. They're a little noisier, but I don't care. Over 110mph they're the most stable thing I've felt. I had Bridgstone Potenzas on my '97 V6 Firebird with a ton of tread, but they can't compare to this experience. Too bad they don't make these anymore If you find some, BUY THEM!

General Tire G-Max is a great all season replacement tire for the RS/SS in your life (same size fitments). They are an all season performance tire with great looks and feel. The side walls are not as stiff as the PZeros so you will sacrifice in the corners but for my style of driving and with the mid west winters they are perfect for me. I've been driving these for 1 year now (~7,000 miles) with great wear patern and still quiet (on most surfaces).
