Up for a tyre change on the RCZ. Chosen this one.

Looking around, the PZ4 seems to be difficult to find in 195/60/15. Any sources you know of, Peter?
Hmm! I don't know what criteria the S001 best satisfied in your view but on most criteria the best-in-class in this size would be Pirelli's PZ4 (Sport) & Michelin's PS4 S. Honourable mentions would go to Falken's FK510 & Hankook's S1 Evo2 as well as the old wet favourite, the Conti SportContact 5.
cheers! Peter
Tks Peter. The Michelin's are $470 each. We are getting up to $2,000 for four. I've had Bridgestone on my cars for 25 years. Just put a new set of Potenza RE003's on my Maxima. Also sets on the French Tart. The S001's will cost me $1,500 with a wheel alignment included. As my wife drives the RCZ as a daily drive, I only get to drive it once a month.
Thanks, Peter. How about 195/50/15?
....The S001's will cost me $1,500 with a wheel alignment included.
yep - comprend
But even cheaper yet better are Continental's SportContact5, Falken's FK510 & Hankook's S1 Evo2.
IS it true that to correctly do a wheel alignment on a 'Modern', the ecu needs to be accesed to reset the steering centre doodad that controls the traction control or esp??
If so, are tyre monkeys actually suitably skilled to do that???
I'm feeling a little apprehensive after getting talked into a wheel alignment a few moth back.

My goodness! there is more to this than meets they eye. Looks like I won't Geta wheel alignment, as the tyres have worn evenly and there is no drifting to right or left.

RCZ has worn out Conti SportContact 3's. I'll let ya know how the S001's go.
