I am looking to replace my tires on the 13 ZO6 with Michelin 275/30-19 and 325/25-20 Super Sports, non ZP and can't seem to find them. I am tired of the Michelin ZP's that came with the car. It seems that the above are the correct sizes but not sure. Any advice on where to find the tires or what would you put on a car that very seldom runs real hard and sees some rain here n the Northwest. One suggestion was to use Pirelli P Zero's. Any help will be appreciated.

I put 285/30-19 on the front and 345/30-19 on the rear...Michelin's and not run flat's. Really made a difference when I switched the fronts from 18' to 19's...I'm pretty sure they have a 345/ in a 20' But for me I'd change the rears to 19's, you'll be much happier with the ride and the handling. .......Good luck.

Go 285/19 and 335/20? Or is that the run flat version of the MPSS?

I have Nitto Invo tires all around, not run flats, and like them very much. Smooth, and no noise. Fronts are 285/30ZR19 and rears are 345/25ZR20. Ordered them from Tire Rack. Good luck.

I went with 355/30-19 Kuhmo V720 ACR (Viper ACR tire) on the rear and 285/35-19 Hankook RS4 on the front. The grip from these is awesome. The MPSS I had in stock sizes were garbage. Would start breaking loose at the top of second gear whereas the Kuhmos hold the car down through all of first gear, no drama. The net size difference from front to rear is only 2%, and it's the rear that is larger so there aren't any traction control issues.

I know some fret about mismatching the front and rears but I feel like this fear is overplayed. The grip level between the two feels well matched and overall is so superior to the Pilot Super Sports that I would have a hard time going back. Car feels very stable in the slalom.

I use this for autocrossing and street driving. I will know more once I have more cone time on them.

I am really happy with my MPSS ZPs. Just got them a couple months back and have no complaints.

Oh you said seldom runs hard. Pardon my poor reading comprehension . In that case the MPSS in stock sizes are probably okay. Not the best grip but they should last a long time and aren't too noisy.

I have Nitto Invo non-runflat. Decent wet weather driveability, necessary in Houston for a DD. OK in dry, not as good as Michelin. Getting about 18,000 miles per set.

My brother got mpss in 275/30r19 and 325/25r20 on his zr1 got them from tire rack I believe.

My zo6 came with 19 and 20" so I can't switch to 19" in the rear. The tires I mentioned in my post are what I want but can only find one in the 19" size but plenty in the 20". May have to switch to another brand?

That is the run flat version that I have on from the factory. The ones that I have on now still have over 1/2 of the tread but feel like solid rubber tires and with all the rain and bad roads in here in the Northwest they are an accident ready to happen. Thanks for the info.

When my PSZP's were new they were ok but they are now over four years old and seem to have hardened quite a bit and just don't handle too well especially in the rain with crappy roads.

Ya I am 72 years old and the last time I ran my car hard was on 2006. It was my highly, highly modified 04 ZO6 and I was clocked at 204.3 mph.
Every once and a while an old guy misplaces a Viagra, mine must have fallen in to my right shoe that day. Could happen at any time?

Thanks, will check them out.

How do you like the Nitto Invo's now that you have had them on for awhile? If your response is positive I will be going with them. It looks like they will cost around $1700 for a set. This is the only reasonably priced tire for the money. I can pick-up a set of MPSS run flats for $2700 but I just don't want run flats again and they don't make the non run flats any more.

Another possibility, if you don't have the Z07 brakes, is to get a set of 18/19 Z06 spider wheels and go with Bridgestone RE050A run flats. Bridgestone developed that tire especially for the Z06, as they were trying to get the OE business with GM.

I have 38,000 on mine with 3/32" tread life left. Going to put new ones on next spring.

I don't know how they compare to the MPSS but they are worlds better than the Goodyear garbage that came on my car.

Actually I like the look of the 18/19 combo as they don't make the brake rotors look so small. Plus with the larger sidewall height of the 18/19's(same tire OD), I get a smoother ride.

I have about 4,000 miles racked up on my 2013 Z06. I have two sets of wheels. One set has 18/19 wheels with Nitto Invos and my present set is a set of 19/20 forgeline wheels with Nitto Invos . Like the quite ride and their looks. Well pleased with them. Just didn't like the noisy run flats.





285/30/19 on front and 345/25/20 on rear.

Good luck.

Got the local tire company looking for fresh INVO'S in the sizes you stated. Nice looking ZO6. Looks like the twin to mine 3LZ,CFZ,B92,J6C, F55,and Q5V. Heading down to Laguna Seca for the IMSA Race in Sept. and will give the INVO tires a workout on HWY.1 then.

Thank you. I have had great success in ordering tire directly from Tire Rack having them shipped directly to my home. Once received usually in a couple of days, I take them to local tire installer have them mounted and balances. Have done this many times with no problems.

Envy you going down to Laguna Seca. Post some pictures of you car and your trip.
