Wheels and tires

[lillsundevil]

Im going to get the Z06 corvette wheels. Im getting 17'/9.5 in the front and 18'/10.5 in the back. What kind of tires should i get with it and how much will it cost me for just the tires?
THANKS! and please help me out....gotta get advice from all you boys out there(girls can drive Z's too...

Depends on what tire you go with. I have Zo6 wheels and run Kuhmo ecsta tires. I think they are a pretty good tire. Good traction and wet performance, plus they look good. On the back your prob going to want like a 295 35 zr18 which wont be cheap. Im going to guess right around 200ea. The front Id go with a
275 35 zr17 they will be a little cheaper prob around 150ea.

Welcome to the site!!! And he!! yeah we need some ladies in Z's out there to whoop up on all the " NOPI Chicks "

Nitto's all around. 555's in the front. 555 DR's in the rear.

Kumhos are great. Realtively cheap too.

I am using sumitomo's, relatively cheap and they beat the hell out of the cooper cobras that were on the car when I bought it.

Sumitomo's are the worst tire. I had two blow out on a set of four, went back to the tire place and the manager told me they have problems and after a little complaining offered me a huge discount on another brand.

By the way, where does the name lillsundevil come from. Did you go to Arizona State?

[jmoore_2001_z28]

I love BFG's and Nittos, they ride is better than Goodyears or Sumitomas and I generally get about 40,000 on the Nittos and right under 50,000 on the BFG's. Make sure you get a Z rated tire otherwise they won't look right on your car.

Also what year and model are you driving?

Im looking to get the Potenza 750 from Costco this month. They are having a special on Bridgestones (80 dollars off the purchase of 4) so that brings the price down to 117/tire. At least thats the price I got quoted today here in Honolulu. Might be cheaper for you continental folks.
