Hey guys, just bought a 2003 Z06 Black.

Love the car but only problem is it needs new rubber.

I have tried to find replacement oem tires but the only tires available are the OEM F1 supercar tires. Looks like the 265/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE760's are discontinued. I would buy the Goodyears but they are almost $3k for all 4.

So if anyone has a set of oem tires I will buy off you and obviously pay the shipping.

Also I am open to new wheels, preferably in a 18/19" combo.

Please let me know.

Hopefully I'll be posting more.

thanks!

Have you checked out the Toyo Proxies T1 Sport, they come in OME sizes, i think tire craft carries toyo's. I had them on my car, then put new Michelin pilot sports on now I wish I had my old tires back.

Have you thought about grabbing a new set of wheels like Forgestar wheels?

Front: 18x9.5
Rear: 19x11

No interest in this... Might be worth a shot.

You should try to check Tire Buyer, shop by tire size, (not by vehicle) Bridgestones come up as still available. If you shop by vehicle only the F1 Supercar comes up.

I put Nitto NT05's on my Z this spring - 255-40-17 front and 295's out back and they are great!!

I bought Conti DWS06s from Canadian Tire when they had a 25% off sale this spring.255/40ZR-17 and 295/35ZR-18 on back.Keep an eye on their weekly sales.

Really a 255 on the front? How do you find it compared to the stock 265? I know some guys are jumping up to a 275.

I'll have to check out crappy tire here in calgary thanks.

I'll check them out. Only thing is I think Bridgestone has now discontinued the Potenza RE760 sports for the front. Can't find them anywhere.

I would actually prefer to jump up to a 18/19 combo anyway. I just can't find rims that I like and that aren't going to destroy my bank account as well. Are you a distributor for Forgestar? What's the website?

thanks.

I looked for them but I can only find them in the front sizes and not the rear. Super cheap too with good ratings. I'll keep looking for the back.

Did a lot of research on this site about tires for the Z06.Lots seem to go with 275 on front and lots with 255.Some guys think the 255s look better,but both look good to me .If you do a search for Z06 tires,you will find a ton of stuff to read. Good luck

1010tires.com must have a decent deal. They are Canadian. Have bought from them in the past. Very fast shipping and great service.
