I know there has been some past threads on tires for the Z's, but most of them were quite dated and since those posts, many manufacturers have discontinued the 315/35ZR17 tire.

Currently, my recently purchased 1993 has Dunlop Sport 8000's on all 4 corners, but they're in need of replacement. At this point, the Good Year rep could not give me a date when the F1-D3's would be available and the only other option is the Sumitomo. The Sumitomo's are definitely cheap, but their sizing never seems to be correct.

So I'm thinking of moving up a size to the 335's on the rear sawblades, I saw a post on here that did a comparison with the 335's and they didn't look much different than the 315 Good Years.

From my knowledge there shouldn't be any concerns running the 335's on the Sawblades huh?

I'm curious what you guys have been installing on you ZR-1's within the past 6 months to a year.

Thanks for the help!!

PS
The previous owner has a set of black 91 ZR-1 rims with brand new F1-D3's, but he told me he wants $2500.00 for them.....YIKES!!
