Stickiest street legal tires in 285/30/18

steveCA · 02-28-2003, 01:21 AM

I have this size on my Z06 front and need something much grippier than the Michelin Pilot Sports that are on there now. The car spends about a quarter of its miles on the race track (road courses) and the michelins just don't cut it. I have P Zero Asymetricos on the rear 315/30/18's.

I was forced to go with 18's on the front because of the Brembo brakes I put on. Any ideas?

get the matching Pirelli P-Zero's for the front ... it is a bad idea to mix and match tires

Any clearance issues w/ 10.5s up front? do they stick out? I'd love to see some pics.

No clearance issues. I have them on a 5mm spacer to clear the calipers. They would be flush without the spacer, but stick out about 1/4 inch with the spacer.

Luke,

My Pireilli's are pretty worn as well. If I were to buy four new tires for maximum stick what would you suggest?

I don't really care about street longevity as the shoulders wear out long before the rest of the tire anyway.
