No tires available for ZR1
 
Hello folks, trying to find a set of tires with not much luck. The Goodyear F1's are out of stock for the front ones until May. I think my tire store mentioned another brand that was available but did not recommend them.
I guess the 17 inch wheels are not that popular. Any tips?:o Thanks

Re: No tires available for ZR1
 
17" are popular....315 is not.

goodyear
nitto
sumitumo
and one that begins with a V are the ones that come to mind that are made in 315.

335 gives you Michelin

You can fit the 285 40 17 F1 too. These are available and 315 35 17 for the rears. (Goodyear F1)

Michelins will work too and they are available

(As Kevin said). 275 40 17. 335 35 17

:cheers:

Kumho makes the 275 and 315 sizes for the ZR1.
They're highly rated on the Tirerack website and the
$ aren't too bad either. Neat tread pattern, they wear and balance well,
work good in the rain and hook up just fine unless you're a hard core drag race
or "track rat"
But for some reason, very few run them?

Found this place where you can get the Vredesteins in both normal sizes:
http://www.performanceplustire.com/p...productID/3678
There is also an e-bay retailer that goes by "cleanin out the garage" or something like that - several members have bought the Vred's from there. Probably the direction I will go this year...

Ray, I hope you go by Ray. If you don't I apologize. If this was me looking for tires I would get in touch with our Merchandise director as the ZR-1 Net Registry has a Wholesale tire account with a National Vendor. This account is available to all of our Registry members.
Oh wait that is me.
Let me know what rear tire you are interested in and I will get you a price on the front. Drop Shipping is 5.00 per wheel.

1. Total for ALL four tires (two FRONT and two REAR) $704 with free shipping.
2. Tires arrived 3 days after ordered from Discount Tire
3. Took new tires and rims with old tires to local Discount Tire.
4. Discount Tire removed old tires and installed new tires on rims (Left and Right).
5. Cost to install two front and two rear new tires including balancing was $15 each tire.
6. Confirmed tire balance at 120 mph with zero vibration at any speed 0 - 120 mph.
7. Absolutely the best balanced tires I have ever had.

8. Tires (some helpful hints from Marc Haibeck)
a. There are four or more brands available for the ZR-1. Sumitomo, Kumho, Nitto, Vredestein, etc.
b. Sumitomo's may flat spot when cold because there is one nylon cord. They will thump for about the first five miles when cold.
c. Kumho's racing tires are excellent.
d. The Nitto NT 555 provides 95% of the performance of the Goodyear D3 at about 60% of the price. The soft thread on the NT 555R wears out in about 20k miles.
e. The Tire Rack does not sell Nitto. Discount Tire has them Discount Tire.
f. AFS Wheels sells Vredestein tires Vredestein. AFS Wheels are the same as "Cleanin-out-the-garage" on Ebay. Cleanin-out-the-garage has Lots of information on Vredestein Sessanta tires on Ebay Vredestein Tires.
