Our used Potenza S-03 tires have arrived (245/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear) from two different eBay vendors. Both were easy to deal with and the tires that arrived were as per their descriptions and were shipped in a timely manner. We highly recommend tires4less1 and mile-hightoyz if you ever need used tires. Street Sports helped us out with the tire mounting and balancing with their state-of-the-art hardware (very high-tech and precise). In addition, we took this opportunity to put the PFC 97 Racing Pads in the front to break them in for this weekend at Mid-Ohio. We must note that although these tires are significantly better than the stock Potenza RE040 (225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rear), they are far from optimal. This is only a temporary solution for us to get through Mid-Ohio. Afterwards, our plan is to have 275 width tires on all four corners, with a possibility of going even wider in the rear - something not feasible on the stock 18x8 wheels. Furthermore, the car was taken to Glenn Nissan as our oil pressure gauge was malfunctioning. The mechanics isolated the bug and a new part was ordered. Replacement has been scheduled for next Wednesday. Glenn Nissan is a wonderful dealership in Lexington, KY with great service. We strongly recommend them for your Nissan needs in the central Kentucky region.
