I went with Nitto NT-05 if I haven't said so already. Great tire! I wonder how long it will last...grips very well. Mods remove a vote from Goodyear and add it to Nitto!

GY Eagle F1 GS-D3. Was torn between Nitto, Kumho, and GY. Went w/ GY because 1-they're made in the US, or Canada 2-they look great 3- they were top-rated on Consumer Reports (only Michelin PS3 was higher, but they don't make an exact replacement for the rears). Would recommend using a Road Force machine to install tires to rims. My Z rides awesome now, paid a lot, but it was worth it.:cheers:

I have Sumitomos because they were on the 95 when I got it this summer. They seem fine. I also had Sumitomos on my 93 QB after Goodyears and BFG comp T/As. I put them on the 93 largely due to price -- about $640 for a set of four plus mounting and balancing--about $800 total in 2006. There were fine on that car although I have heard people say that they flat spot easily. I have not had a major problem with flatspotting. -- Bob

I put a set of Nitto 555's on my '95. I think they look great as an OEM replacement tire and they seem to handle pretty well. To date I have 2,400 miles on them and no complaints. This is my second ZR-1 in four years and I have now gone through Sumitomo's, Kuhmos and Nittos. For me the Nitto is the best looking street tire or OEM replacement. I don't plan to race or autocross the '95. The Kuhmo was a very good autocross tire. The Sumitomo was simply a replacement tire that was inexpensive and came in ZR-1 sizes. It was on both cars when I bought them, but it was cheap and did not handle well at all. (JMHO)

Nitto 555 all around now, next 555r on the rear, all around performance and $$. And I can get them when I want them.

I have Sumitomos because they were on car when I bought her 4 months ago. I am looking to get some new tires before next summer, probably Kumho...

Seriously consider the Vredstein Ultrac Sessentras... After 5k miles, I can say these are the best tires all around I have ever had on a sports car... Quiet amazing traction off the line and in turns under power, easily controlled in power slide, super long tread life, and good steering feel --- Very inexpensive to boot.
