20 inch drag radials for ZL1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2012 ZL1#1658 · 12-20-2013, 12:07 PM

In theory of keeping the same rims. Has anyone purchased any 20 inch drag radials for their ZL1 for the street? Wondering if it is worth it or not.

Trackman · 12-20-2013, 01:10 PM

Absolutely worth it. Buy some M/T or Nittos.

white ZL1 · 12-20-2013, 01:14 PM

For normal daily driver usage? Just depends on whether your worried about how many miles you get out of a set of tires or getting caught in the rain.

Ok. Thanks for the input. I don't plan to take her out in the rain so don't need to worry about that.

MICKEY THOMPSON 305/35/20 DRAG RADIALS ARE BETTER THAN NTO5'S. BETTER TRACK TRACTION. I DON'T RUN THEM ON THE STREET. JUST MY 02!

Agreed. I had the NT-05R's and they wore out super fast and switched to MT's. They hook better and last longer as well. I run them on the street with no problems.

I run MT ET Street II's on mine full time. No problem. They are super sticky! Just don't get caught in the rain.

Vangres · 12-20-2013, 07:37 PM

MT, that's it, tested and proven ^_^

A quick question, Now these don't appear to be Z rated, are they only good for the strip and not for say running the Texas mile or something like that? High MPH legal driving?

Thanks guys.

Anyone have pics of the 20" M/T ET Street on a ZL1?

I'm seriously considering this one right now.

AZ-ZL1 · 02-26-2014, 04:38 PM

Just posted pics in the wheel/Tire thread.

I have about 500 miles on them and am very happy....leave them on all the time.

I have to "try" to spin em.

You put them on the front also?

AZ-ZL1 · 02-26-2014, 06:17 PM

No sir. GY's still on front but will be changing to the Michelin PSS in fall. No need to change the fronts in AZ with summer already here..haha
