Tires

[OUMike]

Hey everyone,

 

My father has a tripple black 2001 Camaro Z28 and is looking for a set of tires. I have a few questions.

 

1) will the stock Z28 rims handle a 245-50-16s

2) anyone reccomend a solid tire?

 

Thanks,

Mike

My brother went up to a 255/45. Not sure about the 45 part, all I know it was almost the exact height, just wider. No problems and it's been a couple years. I'll check today when I see him to make sure. I'll also look to see what type he has. I think it's one of the high performance Michelin Pilots. Chris

My TA has 245/50/16 on it. If you want a bang for the buck Kuhmo makes a decent tire, mine didn't last long because there were I few times I didn't feel like putting the drag radials on before I went to the track. If you want a really good tire I suggest BFG KDW.

I would go with the BFG Traction T/A

 

My buddy has them on his LTZ and the are great all around tires and hold corners like no other tire ive ever seen. Im sure a pirelli or something is better but for the cost I would go with the BFG

Go with Yokohama ES100s. You will not be disappointed at all. My old bosses 02 z28, my dads old '00 Z28ss, and my ex g/f's 98 'maro all had these tires on, and there a great tire.

 

My dads old SS came with goodyears and they were $300+ a tire, then he went with Kuhmo's and they wore fast and feathered badly, and then the yokos and they were the best tire out of the 3 by far. They look good to.

I have a set of Yokohama AVS Es100's on the bimmer:

 

EXCELLENT tire. quiet, NOTICEABLE improvement in handling(although my BMW will be more sensitave to that been focused as a road holding car), GREAT traction. And I've heard they wear VERY well for an "ultra high-po" tire

 

they are also very well priced
