Tires
Tire Rack has a very slim selection at the moment for tires for the ZR-1 in stock sizes. They have a very cheap listing for Sumitomo(???) tires. Anyone tried these? What are most of you getting for your ZR-1?? I am wanting to get some "modern rubber" to put on a second set of wheels for my 90 ZR1. It currently still has the original tires on it, but they are rock hard.

Re: Tires
I never met anybody who was satisfied with the 315 sumitomos.

I ended replacing them w/ Goodyear Eagle GS-D3s -great tires! since then I upgraded my wheels to Fikse 18"s and currently run Michelins. If you are staying w/ 17s, I recommend GS-D3s even though they are pain to find sometimes. |

Re: Tires
Look at Nitto. The NT-05 is a great tire for street and strip applications. The 555 is their street tire. The NT-01 is a race tire. I don't think they are available at tire rack, but they are available at "discount tire".

Re: Tires
I too bought VREDSTEINS Ultrac Sessentra in stock sizes and am wholly impressed with these tires; great grip; quiet and smooth ride and traction puts power down. Very reasonable pricing and long tread life.

Re: Tires
Ooo, this is a good thread. I was planning on Michelin 335 pilot sports in the spring. More available than the Goodyears, and more affordable. I'll be watching this thread.

Re: Tires
I wore my 335 Michelin Pilot sport out & could not find any more. Went to Pirelli 335's which are good tires.
