[KamikazeR33]

benm: i have the z502's on my car now (need replacing badly) and ive only gotten 10k outa them

i dont hang patches or anything like that, just drive them hard and they light up sometimes

Sorry to dig up a old thread!

benm, how did they last in the end?

I'm up for new rubber again, I've tried pretty much everything apart from the Michelins, asre they worth a run?

I got the Michelin Preceda's on my XRT.

I drive hard 100% of the time, taking corners/round abouts at max speed. Twisty drives at max performance, and even a track day.

I get about 30,000kms out of a set of these.

That reminds me I'm up for new years...off to Bob Jane

Well I no longer have my Skyline but they lasted quite well considering the abuse they got (about 40 runs at the drags and 2 trackdays) and still got about 40,000km out of them. The fronts still had rubber but the rears needed replacing however they only got about half the amount of balance/rotation/alignment as they should have received.

No squeeling, tramlining was minimal but their are some pretty bad roads in my area. Yeah i'd still recommend them 'if' they are about $200ea. I haven't looked at performance tyres since buying these like 2yrs ago so i'm sure their is a new range/model of Michelins available.

Best I could find was $268ea

going to try some Toyo's instead

Thanks mate

Ouch thats expensive, I got them for about $235ish 2yrs ago.
