Any preferences for tires for zl1 20inch rims?

I got a good deal on these OEM black 20 inch zl1 rims 20x10 front and 20x11 rear and I'm wondering what tire will be the best. I had Pirellis on my 21inch but those are too expensive. I was thinking Goodyear or Michelle? Here's a pic of the rims I'm talking about.

The consensus is the Michellins. That said, I have had no problems with my Goodyears and they are much cheaper. Even driving in freezing temps last winter I had no problems. As long as you are careful, they are fine. Once they are heated up, unless it is wicked cold, they are serviceable.

Nice, but those are NOT OEM ZL1 wheels.. They are Factory Reproduction's version which is similar but different. Michelin Pilot Sports are a good choice for tires and wear well.

Here are OEM wheels and the FR versions for comparision:

Aren't Goodyear tires the ones that come with zl1s from the factory?

I want tires that I can be hard on and that aren't that expensive to replace.

pilot super sports are best IMO. They grip and wear much better than the Goodyears. I'm speaking from track experience.

I knew the goodyears didn't grip as well. They wear faster also?

I went with Nitto Invo's... Great summer tire, rated well in rain also. Very happy with them, they are like glue.

+1 my vote is nittos great tire and doesn't cost as much as the Michellins which is probably the best tire overall

Nitto's don't have the grip you get with the Pzero's, but they don't come with the same price tag.

Toyo R888's are what I'm looking at. Several of my road racing buddy's swear by them and they seem to wear like the Pzero's.
