But doggone it appears the biggest size that I'd want in the nittos without getting taller tires is the 305/30/20 which already size for size are slightly not as wide as the toyo's in that size, let alone the 325/30/20.
Dang you Nitto, I so wanted to try them. Bummer. Looks like I'm going to have to turn the radio up (already have it so loud folks wonder if I'm deaf-yes) and bite the bullet and spend the extra coin for the toyohearing terminator tire... |

The Toyos are really that bad in road noise? I hear a lot of good things about the r888r but is the noise really that ridiculous and unbearable? |

I didn’t realize how noisy the toyo’s were till getting a dedicated set of 19 gysc3’s. They’re not quiet but good golly when I put the toyo’s back on I thought I was dragging something (besides a mustang). Yikes.

I am looking at the Continental Extreme Contact Sports for my ZL1. The GY fronts are shot. Figure I would do all 4....
1350 $ for 4 How are these tires for everyday driving. I do not track...

Very good. Probably the best alternative to Michelin ps4s.

No experience with them but I have read a lot of positive reviews. I think I will try them when my Michelin’s are done. Nice new car you got there brother👍

They grip under a variety of temps and conditions with very little slippage, no road noise and complete confidence under hard braking and acceleration. I am VERY IMPRESSED and would highly recommend.

I've never been impressed with Continental QC. I'm running Bridgestones, which everyone here seems to hate, but treadlife and grip are decent and they aren't that expensive, plus the Discount Tire warranty is good

I purchased them and had them installed before my 2021 left the dealership. I wanted the Michelin's but due to the COVID shortage I had to go with the Continental's. I feel they are 95% of what the Michelin's were that i had on my 2018 ZL1.

I think that they're ok on the street but the fronts (285/30) if I push them hard, the front end has a push to it now, they feel like they roll over and take a second to bite. I wouldn't buy them again, been rather disappointed at what the front end gave up compared to the SC3. No track use just hard street use and in most situations they more than good enough but when I want them to bite, it ain't there. Disappointed in the "sport plus tech" sidewall stiffener that they're labeled with.

The Continental Extreme Contact Sports are very good for the price and high tread wear but won’t perform like the GY F1 Supercar 3s that come on our ZL1s from the factory. The engineers designed the ZL1 handling and performance and Goodyear developed a tire specifically for it. I don’t especially care for the GYs either but they do perform very well and are cheaper than the other performance tires out there. The only problem is they wear faster and don’t do too well in wet conditions.

Very happy with my Extreme Contact on my ZLE. A little noisy but a very good tire for street with this car.
