If I want to keep the stock tire size on my z06, am I limited to just three tires? Eagle f1 SC, micheline pilots and firestone wide oval. When I had my camaro 275/40 R17, I had Falken Azenis. I wish I could find these tires in vette size. What are my options?

Thanks
Jason

Im in the same boat.

I was curious about the Firestone Wide Ovals.They are quite a bit cheaper.What kind of quality they are anyone have any experiance with them?

I dont race my Z06 but I do drive it spirited I dont want something that is total crap.

I also had this question, but I just pulled the trigger on some goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3's. They were the #1 rated tire by car and driver and you can get them in 275/40/17 front and 295/35/18 rear. The front tires will only be 0.31 inches taller than stock and will still be about a half inch shorter than the rears. They were also about $300 cheaper than the supercars and PS2's if I remember correctly.
