Looking for any feedback on which tires I should buy. I have a 87 vette with ZR-1 rims. My last set are Sumitomo HTR tires (frt 275/40zr17 r 315/35 zr17) . I wore these out in about 12,000 miles. Maybe I like canyon running to much. shatwatt

I guess the question is what/how are you going to drive your Vette? What do you expect out of your tires? If you are looking for mileage then Sumitomos aren't a good choice. My Falken ZE512's have given me pretty good mileage but I don't really consider them a top notch performance tire (but then again that is not what I am using my Vette for).
You have to ask yourself those questions and answer them frankly and honestly. |

with 11" rear rims, you are limited... just a bit of warning, there.
The Goodyear F1 is a great tire, as are the Michelins. Goodrich rocks... the firestones are highly regarded, but I don't like firestone very much. Bridgestone is only marginally better. I have Toyos, but I don't know if they offer the fat rear tire. FYI: I am going to hook us up with the Tire Rack shortly - like soon - as in the next few days, I hope!!! |

I've had really good performance from my BFGs. I'm very satisfied with them.
