Sportmax 002 15x8 or Konig Rewind 16x7?

Those look great on there Sean.

I went with your same choice on tires, very sticky.

The $50 dunlop rebate was a nice bonus as well.

You guys and your 16" rims!!!

You making me want some VERY badly!

[Sean240Z]

S30Driver - Thanks! The tires are awesome! It's amazing what a difference a modern summer tire makes. Though it still keeps threatening to snow again here in northern Alberta.

Zedyone kenobi - It looks like you've already got a nice set of Panasports on the Z. I doubt moving from a 15" to 16" wheel would make much difference.

Time to upgrade the avatar Sean.

The Star Specs are a great tire, congrats on the upgrade!

46psi does seem awfully high for our Z's. What is the max cold pressure on those, like 44-46? 50? I bet with the performance tire, you would see even more comfort at 32 psi and have great performance.

Avatar updated. I'll need to get some new pics this w/e.

The tires came from Discount Tire Direct @ 45psi. I'll take some air out and see how they handle. Even at 45psi, they're still smoother than the old tires.

I'd run them at 32psi. There is no reason to go any higher. BTW, I am an auto engineer who has developed many tires for high performance cars.

[Sean240Z]

I took them down to 36psi and they work great. I'll see how they feel at 32psi tomorrow.

[70 Cam Guy]

Some food for thought, the door sill on my 07 Civic coupe says 32psi at all 4 corners and I believe it weighs in around 2900 (tires are 205/55/16). It shouldn't be a problem running 32 in our lighter Z's. You'll definitely get better tire wear and contact patch with the right pressure

[Sean240Z]

I've been running the tires at 32psi for the last week and they're great. Not as crisp a turn-in but still very responsive. Of course the tire are much more compliant than they were at 45psi. Overall, I'm extremely pleased :classic:

Great! What was the out the door price? I have 14" enkei 92s on my 240z but was looking to get 16" rims to fill the wheel gap...car is lowered eibach springs with tokico struts...thanks!
