A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I have to agree with jjgdr who is the "man" when it comes to GoodYear!
I did keep his suggestions from way back on previous posts. Because the GoodYear Eagles will definitely be my next tires whenever! Here's his suggestions for the newbies out there. GoodYear F1 GS D3's
17's......Front 245/45/17 Rear 255/45/17
18's......Front 255/40/18 Rear 275/40/18
My SB ZR still feels like HEAVEN....what a wild ride!

Would sure like an update on your tires since you switched over, Mileage, wear, noise?, etc..and..as many times as you have posted correct sizes on this forum, I don't understand how anyone could get the wrong size tire. Thanks!

So what if i make the fronts 235/45/17 while my original rears(235/50/17) were still being used? Would the ride be louder than the Bridgestones?
A:
235/45/17 is 10 millimeters wider.
also shorter.
shorter sidewall means more bounce and harder ride. the shorter sidewall may also cause some more rapid inside shoulder wear.
not a real good choice.

jjgdyr,
Thing is, i can't go with your recommendations(245 fronts and 255 rears) since my original rears still have alot of tread life left. I don't want to just replace all 4. Any other recommendations?
A:
then don't change sizes until u can buy the complete set
A:
ok. i will try to endure the feathering on my fronts a bit longer. thanks.
A:
I love my F1's. I have 245x45x17's on the front and 255x45x17's on the rear. I have 6k miles on them so far with a slight bit of feathering.
I found the ride smoother and quietier than the stock Bridgestones.
I suggest running them a 37psi because the sidewalls are soft.
BTW, they don't offer stock 17" Bridgestone sizes on the the Eagles.

Your right cstouringauto.
I bought mine last November and the F1s were not available in our 17's stock sizes.
