Need new Tires!!
 
Michelin is not making Michelin Pilot Sports in size of original equipment for my 1994 Convertible which is what I like. Any suggestions for replacement tires???

Thanks

Are you talking about the 285/40/17's for the rear?

TireRack still has them (on closeout).

Nitto NT-05's?

I have been very pleased with the Goodyear Eagle F1's I put on mine....

:iagree: I've had them on my '93 since March, and they are great tires!

Wow, did not know they dropped them. I just put a set of PS2s on my 1995 (2 months maybe). Great tires. Nice ride and handling, super quiet.

If you can still get them, get em'. You won't be sorry.

:iagree:

They are nice; I've been running them on all four for about 2 years; the best tires thus far.....pricey, but like everything else..

I just put Continental DW's on my 93. Great tires at a reasonable price compared to Goodyear Eagles, Michelin's etc. I only put about 3K miles a year on the car and couldn't see spending the money. The Continental DW tires I got are made in Germany if that matters.

I run these on mine and I loooove the looks.
I also have Nitto drag radials which grip better, but collect dust because they dont look as sexy.

Sticky is good

I recently put a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport (NOT PS or PS2) on my wife's Z4. It absolutely transformed that car. Best tires out there for summer driving. I wonder why they don't make them in your size?? Shame
I put BFG G-Force Sport tires on my '90 Vette 275X40X17 all around and they are the best tires I've had on that car. The Sport has been replaced by the G-Force Sport Comp-2 and I don't know how those tires measure-up to the originals.

I have Nitto 555 Extremes on my '95
and they are awesome! Good wear, traction
and handling. Priced right at Discount Tire.

peyc2 07-07-2013 10:42 PM

Same here I have Nitto 555 all around, nice tires handle well and quiet. Have about 5000 miles on them and still have 90 % plus tread left.

Very reasonable prices

mazdaverx7 07-08-2013 12:26 AM

Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's. good tire for the price!

I'm looking at these.. how are they on wet surfaces?

65WHEELMAN 07-25-2013 05:40 PM

I'll go with the Nitto 555--put em on our 95--great wet tire--soft enough at 300 for auto x. If you want more performance go with the Nitto 05 (200) tread rating or the Nitto 01 (100 tread rating) Mike
