Tire ?
Thinking about buying new tires for a Z06. I have been running Michelin pilot super sport but thinking of switching to Nito Inzo.
Has any one used both types? If so which tire had the best dry traction. Both strait line and cornering. Cornering being more important. Thanks.
I posted this in the wrong section.
Would someone please relocate this in the C6 ZO6 section.
Thank You.

I've run Invos on street and HPDE, decent tire. Currently running Mich PSS (non run-flat) in 285 and 345 (oversize). Love the Michelin. The sidewalls are a little taller with the oversize tires. Speedo is 60, gps reads 62. The awesome thing is the larger sidewalls give a much smoother ride (don't feel every crack in the road).
I won't be getting the Invos again.
Haven't used the PSS's on track, but by the MILLIONS of tire threads on the C6 Z06 forum section, the Michelin is rated better for cornering and strait line traction.

Guess you meant to post in the C6 Z06 section.

Any extreme performance summer tire will be like that in the winter. They're not made for freezing temperatures.

Where would you say the temp cutoff is? 70? 60? 50?
My Cups suck in anything less than 70 deg, without a serious effort to warm them up.

That's good to hear Bish. I probably won't be driving or pushing my car beneath 50F/10C.
I just got Pilot Sport A/S 3 for my daily driver, suppose to have really good wet/dry traction at all temps. But too bad they don't make them in Vette sizes.
