Re: Hello from a new member!
GS calipers use the same pads as the J55 they were a factory upgrade to the 96 CE & Grand Sports and front only. I added them to mine also and pained my rears black .

Tires and Other Modifications Discount Tire FRONT.................................................. ....................REAR Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance..................................Nitto NT 555R Drag Radial P275/40ZR-17 98W.................................................. ...315/35R-17 102V B  ................................................. 1. Total for ALL four tires (two FRONT and two REAR) $704 with free shipping. 2. Tires arrived 3 days after ordered from Discount Tire 3. Took new tires and rims with old tires to local Discount Tire. 4. Discount Tire removed old tires and installed new tires on rims (Left and Right). 5. Cost to install two front and two rear new tires including balancing was $15 each tire. 6. Confirmed tire balance at 120 mph with zero vibration at any speed 0 - 120 mph. 7. Absolutely the best balanced tires I have ever had. 8. Tires (some helpful hints from Marc Haibeck) a. There are four or more brands available for the ZR-1. Sumitomo, Kumho, Nitto, Vredestein, etc. b. Sumitomo's may flat spot when cold because there is one nylon cord. They will thump for about the first five miles when cold. c. Kumho's racing tires are excellent. d. The Nitto NT 555 provides 95% of the performance of the Goodyear D3 at about 60% of the price. The soft thread on the NT 555R wears out in about 20k miles. e. The Tire Rack does not sell Nitto. Discount Tire has them Discount Tire. f. AFS Wheels sells Vredestein tires Vredestein. AFS Wheels are the same as "Cleanin-out-the-garage" on Ebay. Cleanin-out-the-garage has Lots of information on Vredestein Sessanta tires on Ebay Vredestein Tires. Modifications 1991 ZR-1

Re: Hello from a new member!
Thanks for the tire info. Got a call back today from my local tires shop. Guys says "haven't forgotten about you. Can't seem to find any tires that fit! But I'll get back to you"
So... The Nittos are definitely on the "short list".... |

Re: Hello from a new member!
I'd add michelin ps2 and Goodyear gsd3 tires on your short list
Michelin ps2. 275 40 17. 335 35 17. (Fit perfectly) Goodyear gsd3. 275 40 17. 315 35 17 These are the best tires if you plan to drive your car more than 500 to 1k miles a year These are the most expensive tires but give the best ride and performance out there. I've ridden in all of the tires and these are by far the best Good luck!  David |
