Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
Riding on new Michelin’s is a tremendous better ride and handling than the Goodyear GSD’s. You get what you pay for....

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
I replaced my Sumitomos with Michelin sport pilots and will never go back.

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
NITTO G2s. For my driving in the 91 ZR1 they are just fine. The car came with the originals still mounted and holding air. Had 12k on the clock. Have only had the car to 115 mph, and they were fine. They also held well on a windy twisted road and were good for as fast as i wanted to go.j

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
Just ordered Pirelli P Zero Rosso asymmetric for my car.. I wanted a good Street tire and had to find a 335/30R18 as my rear rims are 12" fronts will be 285/35R18

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
I hope so, I really did not have any other choices, I am actually hoping the section wide is a bit narrow compare to Michelin.. worst case I swap the centers back tot he outside and run a small spacer like when I had the C5 Calipers, which would be fine if I have to do that.
Afterall it is only 5mm per side of the rim

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
Jeff,
As an FYI, I have duct tape in the front fender well above the tire. Depending on the bumps it rubs the tape but only the silver so its extremely slight.

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
Jeff,
The offset is +40 using the Z06 rotor. Stock C4 ZR rotor pushes tire out a bit further w those wheels.

Re: Which brand of street tires are you running on
I will probably move the Centers on the front back to the outside
