The Nissan 370Z uses a staggered tire fitment, wider in the rear than the front, to optimize the RWD sports car balance. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.7L V6. Tire selection should honor the 370Z driver-focused character: summer performance is the priority for enthusiast owners, with sport all-seasons available for year-round use.
Nissan 370Z tire sizes
The 370Z uses a staggered fitment: 225/50R18 front and 245/45R18 rear on 18-inch alloy wheels. The 370Z NISMO uses 245/40R19 front and 285/35R19 rear on 19-inch NISMO wheels.
Staggered tires cannot be rotated. Accept rear-biased wear and replace the rear tires more frequently.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Nissan 370Z use?
Standard 18-inch: 225/50R18 front / 245/45R18 rear staggered. NISMO 19-inch: 245/40R19 front / 285/35R19 rear. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Nissan 370Z tires cost?
225/50R18: $130 to $220 per tire. 245/45R18 rear: $150 to $240 per tire. A full staggered set on 18-inch installed runs $560 to $920.
Can I use all-season tires on a 370Z?
Yes, and for a car you drive year-round in Georgia it is a smart pick. A sport all-season keeps most of the 370Z's grip while staying safe on cold mornings when summer tires turn hard. If the car is a weekend toy, summer rubber gives the sharpest feel. It comes down to whether you drive it in winter at all.
Why do the rear tires wear faster on my 370Z?
The staggered fitment runs wider rears that you cannot rotate to the front, and being rear-drive, the rears do all the work putting power down, so they wear out ahead of the fronts. Plan to replace them as a pair, keep the same tire model front and rear, and stay on top of alignment to avoid uneven wear.
