Best Tires for the Nissan 300ZX

Went from 5995 to these. These take far less time to heat up, and I've only ever broken loose under extreme cold conditions in the dry. But in the wet, these are useless. Understeering and oversteering if not given the upmost care in moderate/light rain. Lastly, the wear has much to be desired. Driving around city and highway, with occasional hard drives these wear out in 6 months. The big issue is the cost. SO many better options at that price point. These are priced near pilot sports and do not touch that tire in its balance and performance. I would not recommend these tires.

Great tires, one of the best in my opinion. Fantastic dry grip, wet grip was good. Car used to spin them under hard acceleration. But 500+bhp car couldn't really complain. Lasted 7000 miles of hard driving and track use. Would definitely buy again

Quiet, grip is good atm, and for the price I am happy. They seem to be able to handle 228bhp so am happy enough. Replaced some rather elderly Firestone Roadhawks and seem miles better in comfort and road noise with reasonable grip.

Work well for the price- dry grip is very good, wet not so much. Progressive runout when grip goes and sidewalls are much better than the old t1r. As a few people mentioned, tires are quite noisy and mildly vibrate like a wheel bearing is on the way out on some surfaces!

These tires absolutely suck on wet roads. I totaled my 300ZX because of the. Allow me to explain.
I have a NA Z32. 220 HP 200 TQ, so by no means is this considered a "fast car" by most standards. I've never had issues with these tires unless the road was wet. When driving these tires on wet road, they suddenly become the most unpredictable and deadly tires ever. Over the course of having them for 8 months, I've done many unintentional burnouts when its raining, even when a actively trying to take it easy. On time I was accelerating ffrom a red light and after shifting into 2nd the tires just lost all control and I fishtailed a little but recovered. That very same drive, I was going around a right turn in a residential area, I was in 3rd and after completing the turn I go to accelerate and I spin out. This car, a 220 hp 20 year old NA V6, was losing traction in THIRD GEAR going 15-20 mph.
Now for the inspiration for writing this review. I'm on my way to school, it had just finished raining, and I'm waiting in the back of a line at a red light. Turns green, line moves up and I go to turn right. I'm in second gear. I'm not going very fast to begin with because I'm in a line of cars coming out of a red light, but somehow after turning I accelerate and I start fishtailing again towards the right. I overcorrect too much to the left, and NOW they decide to grip...Right as I'm facing the side of a pickup. Bags go off, tons of pieces of my car go into the street. The truck just took a minor dent in the side. My car totaled, and its all because of these damn tires.

Really pleased with these. Second set of the exact same tires I've had on this car and it's done a range of country lanes, motorways, track days, drag strips and town driving. I have them on the rears, with Falken 452s on the front and I've got to say, on the track, in the corners that matter, that Falkens give out before the Coopers. The car is 400bhp @ the hubs, so roughly 480 at the flywheel, very heavily modified and with equal amounts of torque to bhp, yet the rears very rarely break loose outside of 2nd gear in the dry (If I could find a tire that didn't in 1st or 2nd I'd be amazed), the Falkens on the fronts on the other hand, start to give me a wobbly feeling in hard corners at Silverstone and last year on Donnington. Comfort and noise is a little hard to tell in this car obviously, but I'd say they offer better comfort than the Falkens, which have a metal band in the sidewalls. Wear really doesn't seem too bad either, I've done probably 15k road miles, with the combination mentioned above and 5k track/strip miles with these on the rear of a rear wheel drive 480bhp car and the tires still look very good condition, with plenty of tread, plenty of grip, etc.

This is the worst tire I've had the misfortune of experiencing. These are dangerous tires
Came on the car when I bought it, the grip was unbelievably terrible. Car was standard, and was caught out when the tires span up in 3rd gear @ 70mph. This happened on many occasions. Couldn't go full throttle in 1st or 2nd gear as grip was nonexistent. I couldn't enjoy the car at all.
In the wet the car was just flat out scary, extremely unpredictable.
There was 0 feedback, you could never tell what they would do.
Luckily the tires only lasted 5k miles before they were totally bald and needed replacing.
My brother who also had a 300zx got his with Pirelli p600s (aka the ditch finders) and he said these were even worse than they were, which is saying a lot.
They were replaced with thinner 235 Goodyear eagle f1 as2 and the difference was unbelievable. The car was amazing to drive, loads if feedback, wet and dry grip was great. Soon moving to 245/265 as2s.
There is no way I could recommend this tire to anyone at all.

This is my fourth set of various sizes of these tires. They really look great and when warmed up in dry conditions they are almost impossible to break free and when they do it is easy to control the slide. BUT BEWARE in the wet! It is probably just the nature of a hard compound (long lasting) tire that when they break loose on wet roads they just GO! You will find yourself going backwards in a second or trying your best to chase the tail of the car to keep it behind you. And maybe because of the awesome dry road grip you will find yourself throwing it into a turn like usual and the next thing you know your frantically trying to keep the car from spinning. So my advice is to go a safe area and test the tires in the wet to know their limit before finding yourself backwards on a busy highway. One last note, the painted lines on the road are really like ice to the tires when wet so be beware. I have these on my 300ZX and BMW 850ci.

can not fault them on my 3rd set for my 700hp 300zx RWD sports car will buy again and again

After reading the reviews i feel compelled to give a far more acurate review of the triangle tires ! Ill start by saying the tires are front 224 45 18s rear 265 35 18 on a 612atw hp nissan 300zx ! Previous to the triangles i have used bridgestone so3's and before them some pilot sport's ! The triangles added almost 3 seconds a lap at manfield race track yep 3 seconds so i would consider them a pretty good "cheap tire" not sure what all you other reviewers are on about but obviously the price is more of a consideration than actual performance ... oh and a have a gps max speed of 294kph and hey they still going strong
