I've run the Nitto tires on the 96GS and Lightning for years and have been happy with them. I bought a set for the ZR-1 when I bought it in Sept. I had 2 C6 Grandsports with the stock goodyear runflats and hated them. I replaced those with Michelin non runflats. Think they were Super Sports?

NITTOS. 555 G2s No experience with any others but these seem to stick really well. Have them on the 91 and 90 ZR1s. Have no idea how they would be on a track but the hold well on a windy road.

Would they fit your wheels and clear body work?

I think I read somewhere here on the Z reg. that it was just a rebrand of a different tire, and not related to their 1/4 mile stuff.

Sorry to hear that Kevin. I have run GY GSCs, Sumitomos, and BFGs. The Nittos have beaten them all imho... and for the money, about $800 for the set it seemed to be the best bang for the buck to date.

I am on my second set...
