Default ZR-1 Tires

Folks:

In perusing the "other" forum, I note that many of the C6 Z06 guys are raving about the Nitto NT-05 tires. I now note that these tires are available in stock C4 ZR-1 sizes. Here is some info:

Nitto NT05- Max-Performance Street
The NT05 is a Nitto's most aggressive non-competition street tire which is based on the Nitto NT01 race tire technology but designed specifically for maximum street performance.

Features:
- Large continuous center rib and big outer shoulder blocks provide a large contact patch for dry performance and cornering.
- Specifically formulated tread compound and reinforced internal construction provides crisp turn-in and excellent steering feedback
- Reinforced tread blocks and large continuous center rib provide rigidity and stability under braking

Nitto NT05 Ratings:
Speed - W
Treadwear - 200
Traction - AA
Temperature - A

Have fun.

I was going to try 05 for street next from what I've heard also, the 01's have been treating me good and if the 05's stay in stock as well as the 01's have been it would be another plus.

With the exception of a couple days every August, I don't think those Nitto NT05s will have much of a market out here in the Great Pacific NW
