Stickier tire... quick question.
I am running the stock tires, stock sizing, etc on my 02 Z.
Can I run the supercars up front (tread is still good at 65-75%)
But thinking about a stickier tire for the rears and sell the 2 stock rears.
Can I run BF GOODRICH G FORCE TA KDW 2 295/35 18
in the rear, and the 265 gy supercars in the fronts?
ANy problems? And does anyone have a comment about the kdw 2?

Most would say not to mix tires and I would have to agree because each tire is made to respond differently so with that said i would just get a new set of rears and wait till they are both worn out and move on to Michelin PS II's its a great tire but $$$$
Good luck

I have been doing this for 9k+ now and no issues at all. I run Nitto 555 Extremes up front and sticky NT-01s in the rear for spirited driving and Falken's for normal driving and I have had no issues, in fact the 555/Falken's had zero traking issues at the Texas mile where I had them motoring along at 180+

thanks for the reply. I had done this on my 98 c5 with a procharger. Toyos up front, ps2s rear.
Didn't know if it would make the z06 bad or anything.

On my CCW 19X11 wheels my 295 BFG KDW's hook and grip corners MUCH better than the 305 PS2's I had. Very noticable difference. My rwhp is 434; with 3:90 gears.
After experience with Michelin tires on sport bikes "not good, they are known to take too long to get up temp. Great for a track but not for the street. I believe the same is true for their street car tires. That's my take.
