Which brand of street tires are you running on

[mpiecyk]

Depending on your wheel size I installed Michelins Pilot 4S on my 1990 ZR-1, 275/35-18 frts and 325/30-19 rears.Max performance summer tire,not intended to be driven in near & below freezing temps.
Performance & comfort I'll give it a (9) out of (10) Ten being the highest.
I feel its a excellent tire for a great car.
Tire Rack has them in stock and free shipping.
Always request the manufacturers date on the tire.

I got a quote from Discount Tire 10 days ago for Nitto 555 G2 for $866.00. Just in case the new owner of my project car wanted a new set on.

I got a set for $721. with road hazard... Guy gave me a great deal because they didnt have any GSD3s to sell me to match the rears...

Limited selection here in Canada and price was a big factor also, had GY on it when I bought it but they were 15 years old and dried out and cracked, so tried the Nittos and have found them to be a great tire

I too ended up with a set of Nitto 555 G2 tires. This car is set up to be an all weather year round driver car. I have driven about 2000 miles this past year and the tires have surprised me on the plus side. They will break loose at 7000 1st to 2nd hard shift. No track day testing yet. Hopefully after the virus leaves. Tires have not flat spotted after sitting up to 3 weeks at a time. No cracking when driven at 25 degrees F.. Have responded well at all speeds which have tested some triple digits. I think the 4 or 5 year age rule will apply before tread depth becomes an issue. These tires are in the stock sizes GM put on the car.
Car has ported intake,Corsa cat. back, and appropriate tune.

Any thoughts on the shape and the extra width it might impart?

I’ ve had the R888’s on mine for 4 years, and less than 10K mi.
I highly recommend them, (new tread design now). Sticky as hell, as good as drag radials on the street, but be careful in the rain. Cheap, durable, and sticky. They’re aging out before they wear out, but just what I wanted.

I ran the pilot sport cup in the 18 345 and when new they are great but like any gum ball tire they heat cycle and get hard fast, especially if you DO use them like a drag radial.


I'm running toyo ra1s which I love on the c5



right now I'd run the R888R which stick like grim death. These tires are limited in both cold and rain, but I don't have a death with so I don't drive like an idiot in those conditions and the tires work fine.


The warnings is that the tires will chunk in the cold and crack but I haven't had that happen yet and I drive the turbo car year round (when it works!!)


Now I just picked up a procharged c5 that has the nitto n555 which I also like


My advice is get a tire that will wear out before it ages out and then go do it

I'm currently using the Toyo Proxes R888. I can't change my vote and Toyo isn't on the list.

I did the same, and they have been fantastic. As I like to drive my cars, getting some more mileage out of the tires isn't a bad thing.
