Best Zl1 tires
This have been a problem for me for a while now , can't find an exact answer for it so i thought about doing a thread about it & i really admire everyone's help.
I want tires with the most grip in the market (price is not an issue) , I just dont want the tires to keep losing traction on hard accelerations , okay i know the ZL1 is a powerful machine but i currently have hancook tires & they are an absolute piece of shit (sry for my language) but these things keep losing traction and spinning crazy (Traction On) untill i reach 20 Mph and they are still spinning which makes me lose speed & acceleration times & the wheather is 40C (living in Saudi arabia) and the wheather is usually hot. even when im going 50Mph and i WOT the car slips for a second. This makes me annoyed most of the time. I want a tires that will give me the best grip & makes the car takes off nicely without spinning & FAST. Thank you. Note: Incase you are wondering my car is stock. And i just bought the hancook tires so this isnt happening cause they wore off or something.. |

Michelin Pilot Super Sport is the tire I keep getting told is the tire that will hook up, but they need less time to warm up.

Try the Nitto NT01 if you want something to truly stick. The NT05 has a size only for the rear. The NT01 you can use on all four.

\This is what I have found through my research. Goodyears are better at the track and Michelins are better for the street. Michelin warm up faster and have more grip sooner than the Goodyears on the road. I will let you know when I get my set. I picked up a 2nd set of ZL1 rims for the track. Sam

What about getting a set of 19" wheels for the track and run the tires on the Z28?
