If you are not a advid track driver you might want to consider the Bridgestones.

I will most likely try the michelin Super sports. To see how they compare. they are a bit more money though. they don't have exact sizing but you could do 295 315. they also do have a 305 listed i just dont think it is out yet.
I had NT05's on my Z06 and they work well too but they are sized a bit odd. 275 then 315.

Im sticking with the Goodyears.. Im not an avid track go-er but am really impressed with my tires and how they perform. The michelin Super sports would probably do wonders for the car..but they are just too impractical to be on my daily driver.

the only downside the the supersports is price and I am alos not convinced that they will "corner" much better but am not sure.

There's a reason those michelins aren't on the much heavier camaro. The goodyears have a stiffer sidewall

The michelin pilot super sports have different spec tires in the same size. For example I put on Ferrari spec 295s in front and 315s in the back. The regular pss in 295 has a load rating of 1521 lbs. The Ferrari spec pss is 2039 lbs. The factory goodyear is 1764 lbs. If I was only racing my car the goodyears are a great tire. I like to drive sometimes when it rains. The Michelins are a better overall tire in my opinion.

I ordered the 315 super sports from Discount Tire. However, the sales rep said he had a friend with a Zl1 who did the same thing and told him that they rubbed going over bumps. I have no way of verifying this info. Anyone have similar or different experience using the 315s (michelin pilot super sport)???

I don't track my cars, so I may just go with Hankooks and save a few bucks.

I am curious about what size and models of Hankooks you would pick?
