Thanks Theta. So you think that your tire combo will not successfully fit in any other C7? In essence, could I replicate the same results with my car? What could go wrong, and how did the lack of tolerance help you? Did you read my other thread inquiring about both Toyo combos? I need to know for certain, because if I order the 315 and 265 combo, mount, balance, etc... and if they do not fit properly, I simply cannot return them.

Location: Calgary, AB. There's a reason why white was the only color offered on every year Corvette. Proud Canadian German Jamaican!

you could be talking about tire pressure and he'll post minimum 2 pics of his car.

The 888s are 26.3" in the front and 27.6" in the rear. That's right on the edge of the 1.1" - 1.3" difference for proper calculation, but I've had no issues with the PTM or MRC during the last 300 miles.
Where did you get the 1.1" to 1/3" differential for magnetic ride and/or performance traction management. I've seen elsewhere that a % difference is what to look for.

Thanks!!
