Which brand of street tires are you running on
 

In addition to voting in the poll, please expand on the reason you have them on your ZR-1 (performance, cost, wet weather handling, etc.). If you have different size rims please include that in your post.

Sumitomos were on the car when I bought it. I guess theyre ok, but they spin easily wet or dry w/o ASR When they wear out I may go with the BFG's.

Sumitomos on my black wheels and the Goodyears on my stock rims. Sumitomos were - available, cheap - not afraid to tear them up on the track. I think they've been fine, especially for the price.

GSD3's. Heard great things about them before I ditched the GSC's that were on it. They hook well, great dry weather traction, amazing wet weather ride and handling.

Sumitomos, because they were on the car when I bought it. They are okay, but the rears seem smaller than the standard Goodyears.

Car #458 has Sumitomos on front and Goodyears in back. Sumitomos went on it right after I got it, price of course.

Car #473 has Goodyears all around. When I bought the car, the owner had his tire shop get the tires and they never put them on. They gave them to me for $630 OTD. They are truckers and the tire shop wasn't making anything on the GY's, they make their money on the truck tires.

For the money Sumitomos (at 1/3 the cost of GY's) have my vote though.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s
IMHO the best all around tire for Z's in terms of looks, ride, tread life, noise, wet/dry performance and handling for a reasonable cost.
Though I would like to try a set of Michelin Pilots one day if my ship ever comes in or Ed shows up at the door.

Running BFG KD's on the car. Phenomenal dry handling and decent wet weather. The car gets used with track days & autoX with those tires as well with great results.

Previous sets of rears lasted 6 years. About to replace the fronts as they have gotten a little hard.

After this next set, I will be running the Kumho 700's as I do not like the goodyear tires, refuse to run either the vederstein and sumitomo tires.

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
 

I had BFG KDWS before and they spun to easily. So when they wore out I gave the Vredesteins a try and have been very impressed with them. They will not break loose easily in wet or dry unless you pop the clutch at 5000rpm's (which of course I have) just to see what it takes to break them loose and sure enough that did it.

F1GSD3's on one. F1SC's on the other.
