What tires . So little choices ?
So I will need tires by September.. I don't want the oem good year supercars. An don't wanna spend a ton. For Michelin super sports.
I daily drive my ZL1. And in TN. In the fall temps can start at 30 and be 70 mid day. And oem tires can't drive under 40f. I wanted the bf goodrich GForce. But the rears are not instock anywere. So then I was gonna do the nitto nt555 g2. They have rears. But don't make a 285/35/20 front. Options.? I'd like to stay under a grand. .. |

I have searched . And even nittos main website. Does not list a 285/35/20. They list a 40 and a 30. But not a 35. I could be wrong.

I know everyone has different opinions based on where they live. Being in Florida I plan on going with Conti Extreme Sport on both cars. The SS will be done first, followed by the ZL1.

I am running the same and yes they do make 285/35/20 as I have them on my car. Highly recommend them for looks, dry and wet traction.

Check into the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. They're Conti's answer to the Pilot SuperSport.
