Diab2005 Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Hi Just wondering if anyone could let me know how often tyres generally need replacing on a 350z and also what costs are applied as a result of this? Cheers Matt Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Visual check: tyres bald = replace them All down to driving style, if you like going sideways more than straight them you'll be replacing tyres sooner. Quote
JetSet Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Depends on your driving style but my rears were changed at 11k with about 1k of tread remaining, fronts should last a bit longer say in the region of 14-18k Pete Quote
spursmaddave Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 My REO50A's lasted 25k but a lot of that was normal day to day driving, still much better than I thought though Quote
ioneabee Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 My REO50A's lasted 25k but a lot of that was normal day to day driving, still much better than I thought though crickey - I think I'm barely going to 12K out of mine (and I drive like a granny - in comparison to most in here ) Quote

brillomaster Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 How long is a piece of string? Tyre wear will depend on: how you drive what roads you drive on what tyres you have fitted! If you have rock solid linglongs fitted and do mainly motorways at 60mph, one set of tyres will probably do several years. if however, you have a penchant for drift days, that same set of tyres will last about 10 minutes. As for costs - well, if you get budget tyres, perhaps as cheap as £300 for all 4 - if you want decent tread, probably factor around £800. More if you have wider tyres or larger diameter rims. Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Over the 45K or so miles I did on my Zed, the rears lasted 10-12K miles and then fronts double that Quote

Mikesding Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I bought my car at 29,000 miles and the rears were on 3mm, I've done 35,500 and I'm down to 2mm... That's quite good I'm guessing? Quote
KC350Z Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 change when on limit 1.6m or before NOT when you see canvas like my rears woops oh and dont buy 20" or you cry when putting good rubber on them Quote
Neilp Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I have a habit of destroying tyres. One set lasted 2k miles for rears and 4 for fronts. The longest I have had out a set it 5k miles. Quote
Diab2005 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Cheers guys, some really useful info here. I started panicking thinking i'd be looking at £800pa uphold on tyres. I wouldnt be drifting anywhere as i'd prob end up in a hedge ...maybe after a years experience or so though! so budget on tyres is around £300pa for a non drifter? I almost bought an astra vxr today the guy reckoned it would beat a 350z To be fair it packed a punch though . I've decided against that particular vehicle as there are a couple of years where it has only done 1-2k mileage? Dodgy? Needed pads replacing at 34k miles! So after coming back and reading this post my mind is once again with the Zed aaahhhhhhh decisions decisions...it's all good fun though! Cheers Quote

Go onto camskill tyres and price 245/45/18 and 225/45/18 tyres and you will get a realistic price. Youre about 500 quid for a cheap set of falkens or something similar Quote

Pete the way your rear slides about it will be about 2.4k Quote
