Tyre options for 240z

Post by grantdavis28 » Mon Jan 15, 2018 11:34 am

Hey Guys and Gals,

I need some help choosing tyres for my 240z.

I have a set of 15x7 et 0 Konig wheels which will be going on and I have narrowed the tyres down to two choices!

205/55r15 Bridgestone Potenza RE003s - amazing reviews $190ea

OR

205/60r15 Hankook OPTIMO K415 - very good reviews and $115ea

Obviously the potenza have amazing rep but I really prefer the thicker side wall on the stock 240z. which makes the choice hard! The Hankook K415s have good reviews too,,,

Mostly I do sunday driving all round NZ gravel roads and all with the ocasional track day once a year,

Thoughts please! :-)

Does this mean that you are fixed for the wheels now?

The 60 profiles will keep your instruments correct.

Yeap, finally decided on something.. for now...

Yea this is the tought decision im having. I want the 205/60 tyre but I really like the RE003s, and I cant have the both.

There isnt really a performance tyre in 205/60...

And I just cant decide ahahaha

Im leaning towards the 205/60, also saving a few pennies, its not like im pushing huge hp numbers
