Been running with Michelins, which I like a lot. Not that I'm sending them up in smoke every chance I get, but they do seem to hold the road for me and fair pretty well on wet roads.

I just put a set of TOYO PROXES TR1 on my 2003 Z06 and did AutoCross this weekend and was very impressed on how well they held in extreme driving conditions. Have not driven them yet in Wet conditions.

Yokahamas on the front, Turbo Actions (

) on the rear. The Turbo Actions don't stick very well, at least not on acceleration, but the Yokahamas seem pretty good.

I've got two sets, BF Goodrich KDW2's on my original Z06 wheels and Firestone Wide Ovals on my Motorsports.

BFG KDW2 very impressed they stick even with 400 rwhp. The stocks are crap mostly anything is going to be an upgrade to those things. Thanks mike

This has been an interesting thread, even though I hoped for more responses. My '04 Z06 CE only has 7200 miles and still has the stock BY F1 SC tires on it. But, I have been having problems with my right rear. In the last six months, I have pulled two nails out of that tire and plugged them. Because of the low mileage I was looking to replace the one tire with a new one. But checking with Tire Rack and Discount Tire, these tires are on back order and currently not available.

I had replaced the runcraps on my '01 vert with the GY GS D3s and love the tire. I was going to replace the Supercar tires with the D3s, but they also are on back order. Not sure what GY's production problem is with their performance tires, but it looks like I may have to go in a different direction. I picked up a used SC tire to take care of my immediate problem, but currently I am thinking I will not go back to GY.

Scott, you mentioned that you had the KDW2s and the Firestones. Can you tell us which ones you like better?

Thanks
Rich
