I just bought an 02 Z06 today and am really excited. But the tires on them I think are original and are really dry rotted. Looking at tire rack I don't see any all season tires in stock size. What size tires will fit?

Thanks!

Check over on the Z forum, many threads about this. In exact factory sizing, I think the current options are:
Goodyear F1 Supercar
Bridgestone RE70 I think it's called
A Michelin model; PSS maybe?

Cool found some threads and got some sizes that will work

Why some manufacturers quit making the Z06 size tires is baffling.

They need to figure out a way to make tires on demand.

Been there. Just switch from the 265 to a 275 in front. That's all you need to do and there are plenty tires to choose from. P/O of my Z must have been faced with the same situation, put 265 on front, which is ok, then put matching 275's in the back. NOT ok. Soon as I could I got rid of the slippery, overpriced Goodyears and put on Vredestien Ultrac Sessanta. Not well known here but a great tire with a very cool gatorback looking tread.

Chas, Vredestein doesn't make that size anymore either. Continental Extreme Contacts come in 295/35-18, it's what I have now. Also Toyos, but I don't remember which model. I think it's a T1. Reasonably priced too.

Yes, we were the lucky ones. They don't make that great tread pattern either.

Out of all the different tires I've had on my car, I liked those Vreds the best. I had found some in California but I thought they were too old.
