Best Tires for a 2008 z06?
2008 Z06 Velocity yellow.
|
Depends on the car......power numbers? Intended use? Daily driver/track/strip/straight line/cornering..... Lots of variables at play so there’s not a best single option. |
Stock to ~530rwhp, a Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a common choice. Well mannered, sticky enough, reasonably priced and available. 300 tread rating. Be sure it is non-runflat.
|
Why not run flat? I have been running those michelins for a few years including some track time. I need to get new ones. The tires have been great but the car rides hard over bumps. Not sure that is just the tires though? |
They could be fine with stock level power and a year round warm climate, usually they are just to hard to hold anything over 500+ I pulled mine in the summer and only had them in the summer so I’m not sure about how they work in cooler temps. Making 640rwhp the eagle F1’s were useless, even 3rd gear they’d break lose. |

Yellow vettes take different tires FYI....

i stick with runflats for the convenience of avoiding a flat tire. that came in handy once for me over the past 10 yrs. i do wonder if a non-run flat tire might right less rough? i guess i'm going with new michelin ps2 runflats for now.

Another vote for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Grip is crazy for a street tire. At 557rwhp and 504tq I can do a 1st gear roll at 40 mph with some spinning up top. I expected to completely blow the tires loose but they grip surprisingly well. Grip around corners is great, so is the feedback. |
Agreed on the MPS4. I went with those on my 2006 Z making 526rwhp and the grip is fantastic. Big improvement over the OEM run craps. For a run flat I had looked at the Michelin run flats (ZP2?). They were heavier and more expensive.
|
I run Hankook Ventus v12 evo2’s. Surprisingly inexpensive and grip way better than I expected. |
No personal experience but those Indy fire hawks get amazing reviews and they are cheap. |

We need different information regardless of what everyone else says color does not matter even though orange is actually fastest :hide:
All street driving? Any track days or autocross? Live in the north and take long trips in cold i.e under 40F temperatures? As others have said can't go wrong with the PS4's. I put PSS's on my BMW 328i last year and love them (for me in MN, they are April-October only, then I swap to winter tires on the 328). This was also a switch from runflats on the 328 and the 18" non runflats much smoother than 17" stock runflats. |
