New Rubber Rcommends - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

All,

When I originally bought my 92, I replaced rubber w OEM C6Z06 wheels with 18/19 Nitto Invos. Overall I have really liked them but it's now been nearly 5 years and the rears are showing their wear. Went with Pete to get some gyros and so I had him drive the car to try out my latest tune and listen to the Z06 flapper valves with switch in Open/Close positions. Well naturally Pete got "on it"
and he was able to "beat" the ASR getting the car going sideways when he mashed the go pedal. It happened in first or second. Overall, the motor is running great w the latest tune but the tires are not holding. So I'm thinking of some new rubber even tho the fronts are still in very good shape.
I started looking at Michelins. Got a recommendation for the Super Sports.
Currently have 325s in back, but the Z06 guys are putting 345s on the rear. That could require a move from 275 > 285s in front in order to keep ABS happy.

What say you ZR-1 brethren?
