Tire Brand?

[TimeAttack]

Can someone post up what the brand and model of tire the CR-Z has been fitted with from the factory, as well as size.

Thanks!

I know this thread is a little old, but my newly aquired USDM 6MT EX has Dunlop SP 7000 195/55R16s on it.

Either they put different ones on for JDM or they've changed tires. They are probably just as good as the Potenza's.

I was really trying to find out what the 17s were? That might be a dealer installed option and may vary a lot more.

Dunlaps as well, Northern, CA.

There are a couple of threads on this so I'll post in both. Checked my tyres this morning and they are in fact Yokohama S-Drive 205/45/17/Y. They're about £125 each.

I haven't heard of another CR-Z being sold on Yokoes yet, but it must be what it came on as the car only had delivery mileage when I picked it up. Maybe it's to do with the Electra 17s? The tyres are good so I'll probably stick with them, although something with a rim protector would ease my mind a little.

Dunlops were standard on mine as well. Worst tires I've ever had on a vehicle. I think they are made of wood.

EDM (germany at least)

Dunlaps. Also the wost tires I've ever had.
Seems like USDM gets the worst tires.

Okay then, it looks like Bridgestone/Yokohama are the standard tyres for EDM. I notice that the profile of the Yokoes is only 10mm less than the Bridgestone, so I guess the total diameter of the 17" wheels must be greater by about 15mm or so. Would that put a slight dent in the fuel economy?
