You will like the Nittos at the track, however NT05R's in rain have no traction. I meen like on ice. I drove home on mine once in the rain (5km's) at 50 km/h i was sliding all over the pavement.

Wow. Thanks for the warning. I've order 2 factory rims so I can swap tires for track days. My wife looked at the nittos when I brought them home and said I got ripped off, they have no tread left on them!!!

I run the Nitto dr's on my teal Camaro, and they should get you 2 or 3 tenths...
They make for pretty consistent 1.68-1.75 60'.

I can't wait to try them out!! The best I got was 1.91 on the stock 305 G2 goodyears. If I could hookup off the line I break loose going into 2nd

I'm betting once you put them on their not coming off!
How much does Kal what for a set of those?
I'm betting Davenport will turn that ZL1 into a monster.

Kal in Stoney plain sold them to me for 650.00 each. I can't wait to get my car done up, especially after seeing the numbers they got from the stage 5 they just did!!! I've been trying to buy a spare set of rear rims so I can switch back and forth but can't get my hands on any. Couple places I try to order from list them in stock, I told them to physically check because I'm not paying only for them to tell me opps they are on back order. Which has been the case every time. Might see if davenport has anything close in the wheels they carry when I'm down there.

I just talked to Steve @ Davenport and locked down a date for a Stage 5+ upgrade for my '12 ZL1. So amped! May can't come soon enough...lol!

Talk to Namala at Davenport, I know they changed out the wheels on their project ZL1 so they should have the OEM ones in stock

They definitely have the rubber, as I was just there on Saturday.

CanadianZL1#992 · 04-02-2013, 08:52 AM

I dropped my car off there Saturday. The tires they took off were cracked due to sitting out in low temps. They were given new ones by the dealer.
