I have a 240z w/ the six spoke snowflake wheels, and I'm looking for a nice, wide pair of tires that is not going to rub, and also not break the bank too much. any suggestions? thanks! oh, and approx. price for a set of four would be nice, if you know them. thanks!

My opinion, these cars look best with tires that have white raised lettering on them.

This depends on how big you want to spend. The min. is 195HR-70X14 Dunlop D-60/65 series for about $230(or less) installed at Sears on sale. These are decent OE types. You can go up from there. I'd go with the next lower profile (60 series)/larger tread size, tho.

I like Bridgestone Potenza's, but they cost more unless you can find a deal.

Definately white raised letters--either BFG Radial T/As or General Road Huggers.
I also have the snowflake design wheels--did you get yours from a zxturbo? I plan on getting the Radial T/As in p205 60 r15. They look real nice with white letters!!

Try Kumho Ectasa (something that sounds similiar to exstasy anyway) they are great tires. Very sticky with amazing tread wear - too things that don't usually go together and I didn't believe it till I got a set. Or the new Falken Ziex is good, although I haven't had them long enough to know how they wear. Neither is very expensive with the Kumho's being cheaper.

I've always thought BFG Comp TA was a really nice tire. Very sticky, but good in the wet too. That's what I'll put on when my current tires wear out, they came on the car when I bought it. '72 240. The current tires are RaceMaster M-H Radial 225/60 R14 and they look very nice but do hit the fenders on bumps sometimes.
