Nissan 370z Tires

Based on SimpleScore, here are the best Nissan 370Z tires on the market today:

1. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus - Best UHP All-Season tire

When Continental set out to design the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, they were shooting for the best of both worlds – a tire that can deliver UHP levels of traction, cornering, braking, steering response, and overall handling along with the kind of dependable grip that can get you through all kinds of weather conditions year-round. That, of course, is unlike most UHP and summer tires that have to be swapped for all-season tires in colder weather since their tread compound will stiffen up and lose traction below 40-45 degrees F. They improved on the design of the ExtremeContact DWS06 in just about every aspect, starting with Sport+ Tech with reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macro blocks in the tread for full-tilt performance and cornering ability, enough for an incredible SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling. For year-round grip, there’s a silica-enriched tread compound designed for long life and great wet-weather traction, sweeping lateral grooves, circumferential grooves and X-sipes for rainy or light wintry conditions. That allowed us to give the tire a traction score of 9.8. Unlike many UHP tires, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is covered by a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department.

2. Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive - Best All-Weather tire

The Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive is an all-weather tire; if that’s a new term for you, you’re forgiven; all-weather tires are a new-ish category that are somewhere between all-season and winter tires in terms of design and performance. The biggest difference is that all-weather tires are designed to put an emphasis on winter traction without a compromise in the performance, forgiving ride and low noise you’d expect from an all-season or Grand Touring tire. So in terms of grip, the Cinturato WeatherActive gets an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.8. It’s designed with an innovative combination of zigzag central grooves, sweeping directional grooves, and dense sipes, all of which work together to deliver traction on wet or snowy roads. That’s also sufficient for the WeatherActive to be certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake designation for severe winter service. Tread wear is also outstanding; it’s designed with a tread compound that’s engineered not just for durability, but also to stay flexible for great traction at subfreezing temperatures. Pirelli backs the Cinturato WeatherActive with a 60,000 mile warranty, which we calculated into SimpleTire’s SimpleScore of 9.2 for longevity for this tire.

3. Bridgestone Potenza RE050A - Best Summer tire

When you really want to push it to the limit and get the most out of your Nissan 370Z’s performance envelope, the race-inspired Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is an excellent choice. Wide circumferential grooves and specially designed block edges help deliver the grip you need when the streets (or track) are coated with water, enough for a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. You can enjoy braking, cornering, and steering response that are superlative, with stiff sidewalls, specialized center rib and tie bars across tread blocks that reduce tire deformation and tread squirm for a SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling. The polyester casing is enclosed by two steel belts and a spiral wrapped nylon layer for durability and high-speed stability, along with a hard rubber sidewall filler. All of this allowed us to give the tire a longevity SimpleScore of 8.3. Remember that this is a summer tire and its softer, stickier tread formulation will stiffen up and lose traction on colder days. Like all summer tires, the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A should not be used if temperatures are below 45 degrees F.

While these are the best Nissan 370Z tires on the market, there are plenty of other tires to consider:

4. Toyo Proxes Sport A/S - Great All-Season tire

At SimpleTire, we’ve been impressed with Toyo tires for some time and the Proxes Sport A/S in particular. It’s designed to deliver all-season, year-round performance with short braking distances, accurate, responsive steering, and great cornering ability. A combination of angled grooves, circumferential grooves, and multi-wave sipes boost traction on wet, dry, or snowy pavement for a SimpleScore of 8.9. Handling is also a real strong point with this tire, thanks to specialized rib designs, a silica-rich tread compound and a contact patch that’s optimized to put the most rubber in contact with the road (SimpleScore: 9.1). The Proxes Sport A/S is covered by a 40,000 mile warranty, enough to justify a SimpleScore of 8.3 for longevity.

5. Falken Azenis FK510 - Great UHP tire

We’re going to round things out with the Falken Azenis FK510, a great deal in an ultra-high-performance tire that punches far above its weight class. You’ll experience confident cornering and braking performance with a semi-solid center rib, wide shoulder blocks, and lateral notches, for a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling. Wet and dry-weather grip are enhanced with circumferential grooves and angled grooves, for a traction SimpleScore of 8.8. The Azenis FK510 features an advanced tread compound and undertread construction with 4D Nano design, for a SimpleScore of 7.8 for longevity.
