What about the pirelli's

I had two choices because of the size (345-25-20)
Pirelli or Michelin and I choose the first and love them

Put the Kumho Ecsta MX's on this summer. I like'm so far

I use the F1's on the street, I just bought R2's for track days.
I have used the R2's twice and am very happy with them. They are consistant, they are much better on the track than the F1's, and you can drive to the track.

I have Toyo RA1 on now, but I just bought a set of Nitto NTO1's

novetteyet · 08-12-2006, 07:53 PM

Just got some Nitto 555 RII's. Clear cornering improvement over the stock tires.

In hindsight, I wish I'd bought the NT01s, but I did not know about them at the time

*Edit* - they should use some higher performance tires like this as the EOM tires. Just think about all those magazine tests done on the stock car - it'd post better lap times, better acceleration numbers... seems like a huge "benchmark" win, and it's supposed to be a high performance car, so who cares about sacrificing some tire life in the name of performance...

Michelin Pilot 18 X 265, 19 X 345.

Backlash · 08-14-2006, 03:28 AM

Kumho Ecsta MX's for the street, Toyo Ra-1's for the track.

I stuck with the Goodyears. I figure that GM engineers chose them for a reason.

Falken Azenis RT615's

They've lasted about 9K miles right now, they are bald 75% across. I drive hard on the streets, these tires have never been raced with the exception of going to the drag strip once and no burnouts btw. I bought them as is, not shaved or heat cycled. If you do they do last a little longer, but not by much. With a tire as soft as these, R Compound, 6/32" tread they will not last long. Especially if you drive aggressive on the street especially with the power the Z's put down. They just don't last period.
