Toyo T-1 Tires
Since Kuhmo does not make the correct tire size for the Z06 up front, does anyone have experience with Toyo tires? They have the correct size, front and back, and are priced about ($100.00 more) the same as the Kuhmo's MX. Thanks

Re: Toyo T-1 Tires (DNAST1)
the kuhmo mx comes in z06 sizes, where have you been? the 275 40 17 and 295 35 18 are now on the market. i use the toyo t1-s in the winter and can tell you a few things. it's a good rain tire, it's a narrow tire and it's a over priced tire. the yokohama es100 is every bit as good and half the price. they aren't bad in standing water but the MX will kill them. please don't tell me your one of those people who think i 275 is somehow going to be wrong since the z06 had a 265 40 in the front? trust me the 275 mx looks GREAT on a z06 wheel.

275/40/17 IS NOT THE CORRECT SIZE FOR THE Z06! This is why I was asking the question OR how many are using that size upfront with no problem. Also, Luke said the sidewall is BUTT UGLY! but a good performance tire. WHAT DO YOU THINK

Re: Toyo T-1 Tires (DNAST1)
the sidewall of the kuhmo 712 is butt ugly but the MX is pretty nice, your really splitting hairs with a 265 and 275, if the front end sticks too much lower the rear 1/4-1/2 inch to make up for it. the kuhmo MX is honestly the best tire for your money on the market right now. i also have z06 rims and can tell you the T1-s 295 35 18 is nearly 1" narrower than the goodyear SC they came with stock. the MX is going to be what i buy for my Z06 wheels...things just ROCK
