I run Zeon's on my Grand National. They are 245/17s front and 255/17s rear. They have been a great tire for driving with a cool tread pattern similar to my old firehawks. They are not very sticky at the dragstip but are a lot safer than running drag radials on the street. When I was running drag radials, if there was any moisture(including high humidity), it felt like driving on ice. The Coopers channel water better and have decent traction in the turns. I am not sure I would run them on my Z06 though. With all the available F1 tires I would spend the extra for a tested and true tire. Good luck on your decision.

If you are going to be cheap get the khumo excta MX, NOT SUPRA 712. The mx's are decent, but remember you do get what you pay for

Cooper rolls out Zeon Sport A/S
March 2, 2006
Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. has unveiled the Cooper Zeon Sport A/S ultra-high performance tire.
"The Cooper Zeon Sport A/S gives drivers the dry performance of an ultra-high performance tire," say Cooper officials.
The tire is "specifically designed for serious drivers who demand dry road agility and performance in an ultra-high performance tire with the added convenience of suitability for driving during the winter months."
It contains a new, silica-enhanced tread compound molded into a directional tread design, plus circumferential and transverse grooves for water evacuation.
The W-rated Zeon Sport A/S comes in aspect ratios of 55-, 50-, 45-, and 40-series sizes, and fits 16- through 18-inch wheel diameters.
