TGIF!!! I've got a 2006 Z06 and need new tires (at least on the rear). Are there any other tires that iwill fit on these rims? I call up tire rack and they only have the Good Year Eagles? I can't stand these tires!

New Corvette owner, do these GY's not last long or something?

You may want to PM Smokinvette and/or look around here in the post. I'm near certain Smokinvette has the Nittos on their cars and they have the Z06 conversion?

Thanks for the tip, found a post by smokin and sent PM. You would expect there would be a least a few options for these cars. :confused:

The Nittos are what smokin's using the Invo's

I just picked up 2 new rear tires already, Tire Rack told me the only option available was the GoodYear F1? I personally not crazy about the ride of these tires. My SUV with I think has Firestone rides better.

Smokinvette sent me a PM with info on Nitto Invo's as an additional option. I only needed rears, but after looking at the tread design on these, I think I'm going to need to get all 4? :( Well at least I will have matching rubber all the way around. Hopefully these will last longer!

Click on the vette parts page top right and click on tires, you can see those Nitto's. Personally I like the tread pattern.

Any ideas on what those Nittos cost? I wonder what sort of miles you can get out of them?

So was this a clean fit on the existing Z06 wheels? Are the tire walls straight or does it bubble out? Sent you a PM also. thanks buddy
