Does anyone plan on DDing the Z2 or rivals?

miwialex · 02-04-2013, 10:51 AM

I'll be running 255 Z2s. I'm not sure if they will be DDed or not. it depends how lazy I get between events I'm sure.

235/40 ZII's for STR and DD. They are very noisy around 70 mph though.

I'm buying a set of Dunlop ZIIs or Rivals in 225/45/17 to use on the stock rims to use on the street and run in RTR when I want to save the Hoosiers.

Still waiting to hear how good or bad the wet performance of the Rivals is before making a decision.

I went with Pilot Super Sports on my summer rims, a bit of a compromise but the car will be doing a lot more than just auto-x

planning on running ZII's 235 40 on stock rims or rpf1's ..RTR class

Just ordered Z2's. Was also interested in the BFG Rivals but didn't want to wait until April!

If I choose to go with either, then they will be daily driven. I'm not exactly happy about the idea of spending $200+ per tire when that tire is not a Hoosier A6, though. I'd be much happier if the Hankooks remained the fastest choice, as they are also the least expensive!

Currently on 245/40R17 Hankook RS3s, but if I change, it will be to the 255/40R17. Just waiting for the next GRM tire test before I decide.

been waiting for GRM to come out too but still curious what the over all trend is and some of the more seasoned peoples gut feelings

No doubt... They recently dropped a good bit in price. I paid ~$600 shipped Oct of last year for the 245s--much less now.
