Nitto 555 R II's. Competition road race tire. Car handles amazing now. Just under $900 for all 4 on stock Z06 rims. Still needs an alignment next year.. then I plan on a few small road race events.

Update: Bridgestone Potenzas are working out great. Actually ended up having a defective tire. Was losing 3 to 4 psi of pressure each day. After one attempt at remounting and the problem persisting, the Firestone dealer did the right thing and ordered me a new tire at no cost to me. Since then they have been great. Quieter, better handling, and real good in the wet. Today may be the first attempt in snow.

Tried the search function but it wasn't real effective. So what tires are you guys liking on the CS Zs?
Tirerack lists only the OEM tires and the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports which are quite a bit cheaper ($800 for 4 versus $1,400 for the OEMs) with a slightly better rating.
Thanks in advance....

I have them and so far so good. Haunt tracked them yet. Huge difference from the stock bald eagle f1s. And got em for around 900 installed with new locking bolts

Since it's been raining non-stop here for the past couple of days, I've found that the T1Rs I'm running on LOVE the rain. It honestly doesn't feel like I'm driving in the rain at all... I've driven on LOTS of tires in the rain, and these are the first I actually feel confident with.

I have about 13K miles on my Toyo TR-1's.
Initially, I was very impressed with the Toyo's- good wet weather performance.
Now as the tires are at around half life threadwise , they seem to become noisier on the highway. I don't drive enough in in rainy weather to tell whether I've lost grip.
If I keep my Z06- the next tires will probably be Michelin PS2's.
