tire brand for 2018 z06

[turbozig]

I run Continental's on my 2015 Z51, 19 & 20" stock size.

Many Michelin models are difficult to find. Supply is short in Canada. Was looking for Cup 2s for my 19 ZR1 but got shut out. No rears till maybe March. Called Tire Rack in the US. They have product and shipped it to me in 3 days! Sure, cost was a bit more but at least I’m mobile!

That is pretty damn close to a stock sized rear, never tried the Nittos yet though

They fit great.

So , after about a month of using the car with these tires , how are they ?

I put those same Nittos on my 08 Z06 and did a Pfadt Street Alignment. Didn’t notice any difference in handling however the wandering on pavement cracks was all but eliminated and they lasted over 50k km. Yes 50k and they were way quieter!!

How is the road noise compared to original tires ? Do they throw a lot of gravel ?

I have the James Bond Bridgestone tires on my ZR1 on my RSR wheels. The short limited time I was driving on them late Sept/early Oct. they seemed fine but I'll have to wait till next spring/summer to see how they really are grip wise on the street.

On only a street application, this tire will be no better or worse than an equivalent Michelin ZP PSS tire and both will be better grip wise on the street when compared to a Cup 2. Cup 2's don't grip unless you get some major heat in them like on a track. Driving on Cup 2's on the street you will never get enough heat in them for the best grip they can provide.

looking for suggestions on tires to get for 2018 z06

Had a 2016 Z06/Z07 with Continental extreme contact sports. Nice tires and they stick like glue. Have a 2019 ZR1 with Toyo Proxes R888R. These are pretty much a race tire. If you don't mind some noise and limited wear life they are phenomenal. Both these tires are summer only and are not run flats.
