Tire question

I have a supercharged z06 pushing 600 to the wheels and was wanting to get opinions on some tires. Need something that will hook as good as possible in dry weather but not let me lose control if I get caught in rain since the car will be a daily driver. Along with your recommendations if you happen to know life and price of tires throw it in your reply too. Thanks everyone.

either nittos or bfg drag radials. in my experience nittos are better in the rain and bfg hook alot better dry. also bfgs are fine doing 55mph in rain (at least for me)

I will be at 700hp+ and I am ordering 345/30/19 NT05Rs with mini tub! I hear you can get almost 10k on these tires, I'll be happy to get 5-7k!

Nitto 555r2 (road race tire) is for you. Great dry weather traction, good cornering ability, and very good in the rain.

Same here, and I have ran them all. The nittos are marginal on a bolt on car, they are crap for a car with power.

I have now 315/30/18 bfg 706rwhp hook nice and decent in rain..cars going to shop should crack 800rwhp and already got bfg 345/30/18s... Best compromise of being able to hook and not die in rain imo
