The 2023+ Nissan Z (sometimes called the 400Z for its 400 hp output) is the spiritual successor to the 370Z, now with a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 and a properly staggered performance fitment. It comes factory-equipped with Yokohama ADVAN Sport V107 tires developed specifically for the new Z.
Nissan Z tire sizes
The Nissan Z uses a staggered fitment: 255/40R19 front and 275/35R19 rear on 19-inch alloy wheels (a 245/45R18 non-staggered fitment is standard on the base Sport trim). The Z NISMO uses the same 255/40R19 front with a wider 285/35R19 rear on its 19-inch Rays wheels.
The factory tire is the Yokohama ADVAN Sport V107, developed in collaboration with Nissan for the new Z platform.
Best tires for the Nissan Z
Yokohama ADVAN Sport V107 (255/40R19, 275/35R19): the OEM factory tire developed for the new Z. Available in both staggered sizes. It's the natural replacement, since Nissan and Yokohama engineered the car and tire together.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (255/40R19, 275/35R19): the benchmark upgrade for Z owners who want top-tier summer performance. Available in both staggered sizes. Outstanding wet grip and dry precision.
Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 (255/40R19, 275/35R19): a value summer pick for Z owners. Available in both staggered sizes at a lower price than Yokohama or Michelin OE-level.
Frequently asked
What tire size does the 2023 Nissan Z use?
255/40R19 front / 275/35R19 rear on 19-inch staggered wheels. Z NISMO: 255/40R19 front / 285/35R19 rear. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Nissan Z tires cost?
255/40R19: $185 to $300 per tire. 275/35R19 rear: $210 to $330 per tire. A full staggered set installed runs $790 to $1,260.
How do I know when my Z needs new tires?
On a rear-wheel-drive coupe with this much power, the rear tires wear first, especially if you use the throttle, so check those closely with a penny. Summer performance tires also give up grip and harden as they age, so a set that's a few years old can be done even with tread left. Watch for uneven or feathered wear, which points to alignment.
Can I run one set of tires on my Z year-round in Georgia?
The Z ships on summer performance tires that lose grip badly below about 45 degrees, so if it's your only car through winter, a sport all-season is the safer single-set choice. You trade a little warm-weather bite for real cold and wet security. If the Z is a fair-weather toy, keep the summer tires and just park it on the cold, wet days. A local shop can help you pick the right set.
