Default Re: ZR-1 Tires

Nick,

Thanks for sharing and the timing is perfect. I need some new tires to replace the now old and hard, with no traction at all Pirelli P7000s on my stock wheels. The P7000s came on my Z when I bought it in 2003 so they are way over due even thought there is so much thread left. I was really considering drag radials and will have to research my best options.

Michael, I'm going with the INVO's on my Z06. Thanks for posting the pic.

Those of you who don't really see rain in your driving will really like the NT-05's I think.

The spec out about 200 less at discount tire than the GS-D3 shipped from tire rack.

But they have a tread depth of 7.2/32" and the GS-D3 is 10/32"

So they will wear out faster and may be more expensive in the long run. Just not sure.

of course the GSC's on my car now have craploads of tread left but are hard as a rock and 11 years old...so maybe a tire that wears out faster is a good thing...except for the NCRS types.

The one thing I place on the bottom of the priority list is tread wear...I want stick, bite and performance as #1. If I get 10-12K miles I am happy
