What Tires do you use ?

What Tires do you use ?

Which tires would be better for my '92 Z-28 L-98 .

I'm looking for grip at the starting line . Less wheel spin . I live in the south so no snow & don't drive it in the rain .

Thankx , AJ

if you don't drive in the rain...get some drag radials.

Nitto or BFGs are well used.

Goodyear GSC's, still offered, and great in the rain, better in the dry. Probably the widest tire in inches of all of the 245/50/16's, at over 9.5" of tread "on the ground".

i run the 245/50/ZR16 BFGoodrich KDWS's on my iroc and i love them,they handle great and dont make much road noise.

traction i cant really tell you about b/c im putting 350-400 HP to a single-trac rear w/ 3.73's
