New Tires

[Jetjock]

I'm planning to buy new tires for my 93 ZR-1 and was wanting to get an idea of what everyone thinks.

Mickey Thompson Street Comp have done well for me on highway and on track. They did great after a big rain on the NCM track in 2022. I auto cross with confidence on full brake and turn in. Their tread mimics a Michelin Pilot Sport. Minimum weights too. I got kudos from a local on a sport bike for keeping up with him on Blood Mountain in GA. My Z is 100 percent stock. I buy them from Summit.

I only run Goodyear or Michelin.

Who manufactures Mickey Thompson branded tires?

For my '95 I bought Michelin Pilot Sports with 335/17 rears (they didn't make 315s) and stock size fronts from Costco back in 2014. They were reasonably priced and the installation was excellent. No balance problems and excellent warranty. I don't know if they still sell them. I always go to Michelins when I need tires. --Bob

I purchased Nittos from Discount Tire 2 years ago and about 10k miles later very happy with them.

For stock sizes the tires I keep hearing praises over and over are the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 for our Zs. They come standard on the C8s. I have them in my daily driver Benz and love them.

Michelin ps. Mine have 23,000 miles on them and are at 50% rubber left. Roll smooth at high speed. However I don?t race it. Two 6000 mile trips to NCM and one trip to Corvettes at Carlisle over the past 12 years.

Mickey Thompsons are made in China. Remember that any all season tire has a harder rubber compound for longer life and are not a high traction high-performance tire. 300 treadwear seems to be the middle ground for performance and longevity.

I spent some time with a guy that I know and we decided on Nitto NT555 G2's. The price overall was $966.00. I don't race since I go faster on takeoff in a jet than people have ever driven in their cars and it's harder to control than a car is. It's also a hell of thrill to do. We'll see how they are.

Good choice for overall performance and value.
