The Goodyears appear to be the best choice, however I don't see myself putting a lot of miles on this car ( I hope that doesn't irritate some here) I have my C5 for this. I was thinking about the Kumhos just for the price? |

Howdy! You have one of the "good fellas" in your part of the country, Doug Asay at www.corvetterecycling.com He's a ZR-1 guy and is a great supporter of the C4.
Your new family member is awesome, one of my favorite color combos.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Here is a link to what type of tires fellow ZR-1 owners are running. http://zr1netregistry.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6437 Don't worry about not driving it much as we have everyone here from daily drivers to garage queens. |

The Nitto NT05 is not a bad priced street tire and I've seen it used on road tracks also on C5's and holds up good. Doubt if it would be too great in the rain. I've used the nt01, but not for the street. Kumho would be good too, just haven't been around their street tires. Don't forget to tell the tire shop about the low pressure sensors in there. I told them and they broke it off anyway.

Re: New member here!!
Congrats on the car! This group will be very helpful if you ever need advice on the car. I'm running with the Kumho Ecsta XS tire on mine, and I feel it is a pretty good tire for the car. It ran well in the rain and dry weather during my recent trip to Bowling Green.
When I first got my car it had Sumitomos on it. Nice tire, but the rears appeared too small for the vehicle. Welcome to the Brotherhood!
