1989 Z51 C4 Tire Selection Help
So I'm almost done with my build of this dormant Z51, and looking for feedback on tires for the year. I would love to upgrade to 18"s, but at the cost of an additional $1k I would like to keep the 17" square setup.
Here are the options I have found and would like feedback to...
Toyo R1R
Nitto NT05
Falken Azenis RT615K
Federal 595
Continental DW
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport
Sumitomo HTR Z3
Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500
I am looking for a 200tw minimum tire so I can run B Street in solo.
I figure I'll run a couple events, but I am gonna daily drive them. 15k-20k miles I'm looking get out of them. I can compromise on getting 10k miles as I do ride my Harley too.
Both wet and dry traction is desired.
Look forward to the feedback, and this forum is awesome.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 tires are great.
I have an 89 convertible so it's not a Z51 however it's lowered with R&D Camber brace and R&D Cross bar.

I originally was going to run my stock 17" rims, but I just found a set of wagon wheels for cheap. Gonna find 2 more rears and run 18" all around with 5mm spacers. Tire selection is much better. Victory lane, here I come!
