[Z06] Stock size Z06 tire selection
#21
Instructor
NT 05's in the rain
Also had them on track at Bondurant last October - traction was good and tires were predictable.
Hope this helps.

So can you get the nittos in stock sizes or no? What about Goodyear eagle F1s that came with it?? Are they still available?

Rears are available in stock size 295/35/18 but fronts the closest is 275/40/17. They fit very well though, don't bulge at all and maintain the correct .5 difference in height from back to front. The GY f1's are still available but someone reported here recently he got tires that were already 2 years old when he ordered a 'new' set. I doubt GY is selling many of them these days so the ones they do make are sitting longer. Plus they are the most expensive tire option out there and they are not the best tire in terms of performance these days.

I recently switched from the Falken Azenis I bought it with in 315/275 to the Conti DWs in 295/275 and the difference was night and day. These tires are fantastic on wet pavement.

Rained this week heavily. NT05's seemed much better than the stock F1's in the rain. I buy from Summitracing and had local shop put them on for me.

No experience with any of the others, sorry.
