Default Eagle F1 SuperCar G2





The Eagle F1 SuperCar G2 is designed to be street-refined and track-capable by combining an aggressive appearance with awe-inspiring performance. Like all summer tires, it is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The Eagle F1 SuperCar G: 2 features a race-inspired tread compound molded into a unique asymmetric and directional tread design that rewards the driver with a blend of dry road traction (from massive outboard shoulder tread blocks) combined with wet road confidence (provided by Eagle F1 GS-D3 inspired sweeping Aquachannel grooves on the inboard side).

The tire's structure includes twin, high-tensile steel belts reinforced with spirally wound nylon that distribute the vehicle's load across the tire's footprint to provide high-speed durability and uniform ride qualities. Internal construction enhances steering precision and high-speed stability. Exterior sidewall rim flange protectors help guard wheels from curb damage.

pricing:
P275/35R18 $443.00 ea.
P325/30R19 $506.00 ea.

availability:
2-3 weeks

No offense, Luke. I know you did not decide on those sizes. But those sizes are crap. Most C5 Corvettes have 295/35/18 or 305/35/18 rears.

That is why I just funneled $500 away from Goodyear and to NITTO for my tire needs.

Are you marketing to the Solstice community? Maybe they can use a skinny 275 rear?

Perhaps you've heard of the C6?.... Those are C6Z06 and C6GS sizes... Too late for me, though.... Just put PS2 ZPs all around.... Will keep these in mind for next set

With those prices, I see why they are going for the newer C6 owners. Are the C5 owners now looking for either a simple street tire and a more dedicated track tire for us track groupies? Luke, what is your experience on the buying habits of us C5 guys?

Luke,
Is Tire Rack planning a head to head comparison on The PS2 ZP versus the new SuperCar Gen2 using a C5 or C6 ?
