Thank you for the kind words. I will look for some different tires as these are a little hard. Any places I should start looking??

Tire Rack seems to have Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in stock.
I know Sumitomos are tempting but I was disappointed. Too balloon-like and less tread width.

As for Kumho, I don't know much about them. Goodyear seems to be the best choice.

Save them GSCs. You might want them for car shows later.

I agree with SecondChance. Purchase GS-D3's.... Best all around tire!


keep the original tires though (NCRS - National Corvette Restoration Society), in case you want to have your car judged.


Good Luck

Welcome to the Brotherhood. You are close. Consider making it to the PNW Gathering in Portland if you can. July 31-Aug 1.

Beautiful car.

Welcome to our little asylum, Rudolph!

That is a very nice looking Z! I hope you have many miles of smiles with her!

I'll also chime in on the rubber, that is if you do want to drive her some what spiritedly the GS-D3's are a nice choice for either dry or wet use. I have 30k & 5yrs on my set and they are just starting to get a bit hard. It's too bad as they have good tread depth left. Looks like I'll need another set due to age and not due to the factory's tread wear rating which puts off most folks. Ya get what you pay for and the G/Yrs are expensive, but they look good and more importantly they seem to suit the car's chassis very well. Great grip & stability in the wet, and in the dry....well when you can smell them in the cockpit, they're ready for some serious work!


Tom
