The original tires are supposed to be Goodyear GSCs or RSAs (depends on rear gears with autos).

.Believe it or not, they actually worked quite well in the snow!?
I was sorta surprised (and relieved) 'cause right now the Z is my only means of transportation to/from work.

'98-'01, the Eagle GA 235/55 was standard and you could opt (for $225) to get the RSAs or GS-Cs (both 245/50).
For '02, the RSAs were standard and you could opt (again for $225) for the GS-Cs.
For the money, Kumho tires are pretty good.

Well I am trying to decide which tires are the better tires to buy after my current tires wear out.. How does the Kumho Ecstra 712's compare to Ealge GSCs and BFG GeForce KDWS for wear and traction ?? Seems that the Kuhmo are the better deal for $ 88.99 each from http://www.jegs.com versus $ 110 for BFG Geforce KDWshttp://www.costco.com and even Tire Racks $ 142 for the GSCs..

Aside from the traction problems, I've gotten nearly 34,000 miles out of these tires.

I have Kumho Ecsta MX's on the rear of my corvette, and EMTs on the front.
The Kumho's stick so much better, that it creates an understeer condition rather than oversteer [which I like -- that's why I have this setup].
Look into the Ecsta MX's for your car after you burn up the current tires. They are the best tire I've ever had, and I've gone through many sets.
