Staggered-width 17″ aluminum wheels are mounted with Goodyear Eagle ZR40 tires that measure 275/40 up front and 315/35 out back. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. All ZR-1s were equipped with the FX3 Selective Ride and Handling package, which added electronically adjustable Bilstein shock absorbers. The seller states the tires should be replaced due to age.
