Tires
2004 Z06 LeMans. Looking for tire recommendations. Original super car tires are worn out at 15500 miles. Summertime “Sunday car” driving only. Looking for a solid performance tire. Thanks!!

For stock sizes, you don’t have many options. IMO, the Michelin tires are the best.

you have like three main name brand choices that have both front and back sizes....after that you can mix and match brand and off sizes. as much as i look these are the ones i keep circling back to for matching stock sizes

If you want matching tires in stock sizes, Tire Rack gives only one choice, even with a $100 off, an expensive choice at that

I just got the same ones for my Z06. Great price and the tread looks good on them. Toyo just starting making the Z06 sizes again.

Where did I go wrong..... I found many different choices in stock sizes on Tire Rack..... at least 12, including two run-flat choices
