Michelin pilot super sport. Great tire, good wear. If you want more grip but worse treadwear try pirelli.

Toyo proxes r888 or r888r DRY WEATHER WARM ONLY, but they stick! No need to change fronts. 315/30/20 will fit stock rears with no clearance issues

Did you have to move the drivers side wire harness? I also was looking at the R888 in the same size. I do run some on drag strip. Just for fun. Thanks in advance.

The 315/30/20 is only .2" taller so shouldn't have to.

I used the Conti DW on my blown 5.0. If you were trying to dump and stick, it wasn't going to happen with over 600 lb ft to the wheel.

Other than that, SUPER quiet, right price, and great for wet traction. Would recommend on any car.

I'm actually thinking of going to those right away. The drive home from Caffeine and Octane was super sketchy in the rain. I know the wider tires have some to do with it, but my Corvette never had that many issues with the Michelin's.

The Michelin PS4S was the tire of choice for myself and many others at this years One Lap of America. It stood up well to track use, rode well, handled rain well. It is an excellent tire. I used them in temps as low as 25 degrees. No issues.

The Continental Extreme Contact seemed to fare very well also, being a bit better in the rain but perhaps not quite as fast in the dry. Either tire would be excellent as a daily driver IMHO.

I am going to get those once I wear out the crappy Goodyears. Michelin are the best tires made.

I really don't think those tires are good enough for the ZL1. You will get the mileage out of them but grip wise I don't think they're good enough...
