Default Anyone running 345/30R20 & 295/30R19 on their ZR1 at the track?

I was thinking about trying the Michelin Super Sport tires in the above sizes? Anyone have any experience with these sizes on the track?

Not as concerned about the front tires but the rears are a little over an inch larger diameter?

Would love to hear from some others...

Any rubbing or stability control issues?

I guess not. I put the same question out about six months back and never go a reply.

My understanding is that the Super Sport is a harder compound than the factory installed PS2, so it doesn't seem like an ideal track tire.

No it is a different compound but not necessarily harder. The increased tread wear rating over the PS2 has to do more with tread depth. Supposed to take 1.5-2 seconds off lap times over the PS2. It was to up the ante since the Goodyear G2 was slightly better than the PS2...

They claim it is the fatest street tire on the track...
