Yep!

I have two sets of wheels. Chrome 90 wheels have michelins 335's and correct size on the front and they stick great. No clearance issues. On the other hand I have orginal gaterbacks on the orginal rims. Have them on now and they are the other extreme. I can hammer it about 20 in first gear and they break loose and we go sideways. It impressed my car guy friends. Lol

Let me rephrase...The Michelins are 200.00 per tire more than Goodyears. What do they do that the Goodyears don't?

200 dollars more "stick" per tire? It's not like the Goodyears are cheap tires.

If you have your Goodyears cut they stick quite well!!!

I chose Michelin for comfort as well, since Verdestien isn't made anymore. I have Verdestien on Gen l Dymags as well. New York City metro area roads suck. I envy you guys with long stretches of smooth scenic roads. The C4 rides is a little harsh, even in Tour mode. I've purchased Michelin exclusively for every vehicle.

While at Carlisle, I spoke to everyone I could that had Nitto555 on there car. A ZR-1 specialist commented that Nittos are 90% the performance of Michelins...at 1/3rd the price. I'm not sure if I like the newer Nitto G2's tread pattern & harder compound.

That's the info I was looking for. I was trying to decide if I should drop the coin on a set of these while they are available, but my favorite local roads are in good shape and I'm not worried about ride as much.

There is also the Nitto NT05 and the NT555 G2. Nitto has 6 different front rear tires for the ZR1. That's pretty darn impressive.
