madhops87 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 At the moment Ive got the factory tyres in my Zed. Im planning a trip to the Isle of Man soon and am going to need new tyres. I read somewhere that if you change the Bridgestones it affects the handling or something. Is that right? If I dont have Bridgestones what am I best going with. I used to have PE2's on my clio182 and they where excellent. Considering going that way again. Any advice much appreciated. Han. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yeah ditching the Stones will alter the handling, for the better. Everybody has different preferences, Falken 452, Michelin PS, Toyos etc. If you do a search there is a post with tyres reports. Here you go. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5589 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbie Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Falkens great for the money, Top of the range Toyo's awesome - grip levels through the roof (what I have settled with), and you can never go wrong with Michelin Pilot Sports.

The RE040's are one of the best tyres to drive one, they've such stiff sidewalls they give fantastic feed back. They don't however offer up the best grip, so it's swings and roundabouts.
