New Tires and Alignment - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

tgonyaw · 1 Week Ago

I had the wet auto cross alignment taken out and had the stock alignment settings installed 2 weeks ago.
Today I had the Costco special order Michelin all season tires installed. (Stock sizes)

WOW
Smooth as glass.
No wandering.
No vibrations.
Happy car and owner.
89210 miles-triple digit tested.

Great, I have been on the fence between the Michelin PS4 all season or the PS2 summer tires that I have now. Will also get them from Costco. Glad you like the PS4, I am leaning towards them.

Charlie, I am big fan of the Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons. When the OEM Pilot Sport run flats on my 2016 Z06 wore out at 20k miles, I replaced them with A/S PS3 + ZPs (the predecessor to the PS4s). They have been great. I have even tracked them on touring laps and they felt fine. They extended my driving season considerably and I am never afraid of rain as I was with the regular ones. I have the Michelin all season run flats on my wife's BMW and will put them on mine when the OEM Goodyears need replacement. Back in 2016 I put Michelins on the '95 ZR-1 (replacing the crappy unbalanceable Sumis) and they were great then but were not all seasons. I also got mine at Costco at a fair price and with a good warranty. I didn't know that Michelin made the newer all seasons for the 17 inch wheels but if they do that is great. --Bob

Thanks Bob. The new all season Michelin Pilot Sport 4's are available in our stock 17" sizes. The Michelin Pilot Sport 2 summer tires are available in our stock 17" size for the fronts but for the rears the size is 335-35-17 which fits great, just a tad taller so your mph is off by about 3mph going 70.

Yep when I did the '95, the rears had to be 335s. But they were great tires after the Sumis.--Bob

Any small vibrations around 70ish? I've done a lot of work to eliminate that.

Will spend more time at and around that speed.
I put about 70 miles on that day.
Will post after more testing. I do remember inside rear view mirror very stable at 75 mph. This is an old road, yet still mostly smooth with few pot holes or big noisy expansion strips.
