Undecided: tires replacement for Brembo wheels
 

Now is the time for me to replace the short lived-great handling pirelli's that are part of my Brembo package. I'm planing to keep my regular wheels, but I have two things in consideration: great handling performance and great looks. I really like the Michellin Pilot Super Sport (but does not come in the size that I like 285/35R19), and my second choice is the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position, that comes in that size. If I go stagered with oem size front (255/40R-19) with 285/35R19 in the back, that is simillar to the BOSS consfiguration, I might need to include a bigger rear antiroll bar (BOSS size) to reduce the understeer created, and this will be an additional cost to my pocket.
Please advice, specially if you have one of these setups:
1.-Bridgestone Potenza S-04 P. P. F. 255/40R19 & B. 285/35R-19 and rear BOSS antirollbar.
2.-Michelin Pilot Super Sport oem size 255/40R-19 all tires
3.-Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position 285/35R-19 all tires.
4.-Michelin Pilot Super Sport 275/40R19 all tires
5.- Michelin Pilot S. S. f. 255/40R-19 & Bridgestone Potenza S-04 P.P. 285/35R-19 & r. BOSS antirollbar

I need to replace my stock tires, so I was hoping to see more responses here on this....

Has anyone out there replaced their OEM tires? I am not too keen on spending the $$$ on the Pirelli's

Why not Nitto's? That's what I did. I went with the INVO in the stock tire size. After 5,000 miles I can say that I am very satisfied. I just hope I can get more miles out of these than the Pirelli's (14,000).

Thanks - I will look at the INVOs.

I went with the Nitto 555's from AM. I got the staggered tire/wheel combination and am very happy with my purchase. These tires are a lot more sticky than the goodyear eagles I replaced.

Hankook Venus evo 12 are my recommendation, I had them on my 475rwhp 350z and they performed amazing. I've had those and nt555. Hands down the hankook was better in wet and dry performance. When I replace my pirellis I will be going with hankooks. I had the same size in the back that your looking for 285/35/19

I'm very interested in this too. I need to replace my factory Brembo Pirellis soon, too. How do the 555s compare?

I am putting HP all season on by winter and would like some good advice on this. Thinking of 285/35r19 all around.

Well - I jumped in the pool feet first. I just ordered the Hankook Ventus V12's and I will have them installed next Tuesday. I went 255/40/19 in the front and 275/40/19 in the rear.

I will let you all know what I think after I break them in. I have seen only good reviews, and at less than 50% of the cost of the Pirellis I am not taking too much risk.

well, you get what you pay for. that's asking a lot out of a budget tire and your power level.

i've heard good things about the hankook ventus v12's.. but haven't heard from anyone pushing that kind of power on them.
