Hi i have just purchased a 2005 roadster its been well loved by its previous owner but does need new rubber

       Any thoughts on tyres? Im looking for a good all rounder and as I live in scotland wet weather performance is a must 

       would appreciate any advice  cheers

I recently fitted Conti sport contact 7s all round on the 370z, I have been blown away with the huge lateral grip, in the dry whatever the speed whatever the corner there is just a mountain of grip.  Not really an all weather tyre though.  For a year round daily I'd probably look at a Michellin cross climate or a Conti all season.

thanks   the conti seems to appear frequently in reviews as a great tyre- and i think cheaper

than the cross climates ?

My last couple sets have been Pilot Sport 5's and they're great dry and wet. Also last ages. Can get them at a decent price on blackcircles or costco if you've a membership. The 4S is also great but doesn't have the same lifespan, probably better by a few % better if you want max grip but I struggle to find them for OEM 18" size wheels.

Hi and welcome along. You wont go wrong with Michelin tyres really. They are great in wet and dry conditions, as above they do tend to last a long time as well. The issue I found with the Continental was they didn't last long at all.

PS5 or Conti 7. Really won’t go wrong with either, PS5 will last a lot longer though if that matters, C7 better performer though. 
 

I ran the PS5 for two years on one set of tyres, performed wonderfully in all weathers with plenty of feel and more than enough grip to have fun. Maybe a bit too much if you enjoy slidey fun tbh!
