Hello and thanks for all the replies regarding the headlight covers. Wow! I'm going to love this club!

My latest Z is a silver 1971 240 with a 280zx engine with SU's, a 1980 5 speed, and a R-180 3.56 dif.

It came with 205/60R14 89H tires on stock 280zx mags.

I would like to put on a set of Panasports, maybe 16".

Some of the tires I've looked at are:

Michelin Pilot sports

Continental touring ch 95

Dunlop SP sport AZ

Yokohama ES 100

Kuhmo.

I would really appreciate any input as to a wide, great handling tire. I'm in southern California so weather is not an issue. I don't want to flare the fenders and I don't want the tires to stick out. Flush with the fender is the look I'm going for without rubbing.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Bill, How much do you drive? Daily? Weekend mountain road monster? AutoX?

I've run Kuhmo Victoracer's. Lasted a year some AutoX, mostly Angeles Crest and Mt. Palomar fun runs, few commutes. They were great.

I'm now running Sumitomo HTR Z. They're not bad at all. With a 160 treadwear rating, they're harder than the Kuhmo's but still too soft for a commuter. This doesn't bother me much as I live 4 miles from work.

Have you looked at Falken tires? I have heard that the Azenis series is the next best thing to actual race rubber. Even better than the Victoracers in some circles.

I'm (finally) getting a set of Falken Zeix 502's right now. Prices are good also.
