Strictly street, anyone running these?

I like the price. I have heard Corvette guys running them but dont remember the reviews. You might be able to search the Corvette forum for some reviews.

I have a friend running those on his Camaro in a 275/315 staggered setup. I'll forward him this thread to drop his comments on. From my reading they seem like they'd make a good all-around tire with a good focus on performance.

arkentect · 02-21-2017, 09:19 AM

hey guys. I'm the friend^^ haha. Yeah I run these tires 275/40R20s up front and 315/35R20s in the rear. Don't let the "summer" name fool you. these things grip all the way down into the 40degree area. Great in rain as well and had a chance to push them at Watkins Glen last year, and they didn't break loose once. Are they the best tires you can buy? no. But for their price you can't beat them

I have them as street tires. Very good in the dry, and extremely good in the wet. I run 305's in the front, and 325's in the rear. The Conti 305's run less wide than the Pirelli 305's, and look too skinny in the back on a 11-1/2" wide wheel, hence the 325's in the back. If you do go with them, highly suggest you find some 325's for the rear wheels....not sure if Tire Rack is already sold out as I could not find them on their site anymore.

How would a square setup 325s all around look with those?

I think it would be about perfect....in fact, wish I had gone 325's all the way around the first time.

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza S04 tires in stock size and am happy with them. If I tracked my Z, I might feel differently but the Bridgestones are great on the street.

I'm running Toyo R888. So far so good, pretty good in the rain too for what they are. A little noisy though.

I run dw 305s on all 4 corners. Like em a lot. Compare to a MPSS pretty well. Great wet / cold performance. Also ran time attack with them in the winter and they did great. Was able to pull indicated 1 lat g in 9f and 1.1+ lat g in 50f. They break free predictably. No tramming whatsoever and much quieter than Trofeos. Very happy with the tire ��

How do they look in the rear with the 305s, since they run smaller than the trofeos?

Here's some pics. I think they look ok for the money (I'm going to burn through this set in 7.5 - 9k miles so at 178 a tire that makes me happy re: consumables). These tires have 4K miles on them. I'd prefer 325s but for 1/2 the cost, I'll take this look.

I Put BFG Comp 2 A/S on my ZL1 about a month ago. They ride super and a Fantastic all around tire. All 4 with full warranty for a grand. Very Happy with them. Quiet, ride great and hold 600hp fine.
