Z06 tires

I have a coupe with z06 wheels and I need to get tires. Not looking to spend a ton just wondered if there were any suggestions. Lowest I can find are 4 Continental Extreme Contact Sports for 960.

Anyone know of any good deals right now? Just curious.

Good luck trying to find them. What is advertised is not necessarily available. Frustrating.

For me any my search quests it is the fronts that are the problem child. If you just bite the bullet and make the switch to a 255 40 17 in the front it opens up a whole lot more possibilities. Some go to a 275 in the front but I personally think it looks funny.

If you're one of those guys that doesn't have to have the exact same model of tire front and rear then the possibilities are almost still endless.

I bought a full set of Toyo T1s for my Z wheels last fall but it appears they are in fact fully discontinued at this time.

That's what I have, 275/40 front, 295/35 rear. Great tires as long as you don't need all season tires.

Right now I’ve got 275/40r17 on front and 295/35r18 on the back. Trying to find a set in those are a pain it seems. Is there a different size on back?

Not that I've seen. The rear wheel is 18x10.5 and 295/35 is the best fit. There are a couple 295/40, but very limited and not cheaper, lol.

I'm not quite tracking you. 295 35 18 is the proper size for the rear. Not that there aren't a few other sizes that will work. Drag radials and comp tires and such.

If you go on to fleabay right now and type in 295 35 18 tires there is probably a half dozen or more tires that come up and are available out there in that size.

Just my opinion, but if you could get 2 18x9.5 for the front your tire choices would be better. Naturally I don't know your finances so it's just a thought.
