Default Compare R888 versus ContiForceContact

Has anyone tried both these tires, to be able to get a good personal comparison?

I have used the R888, and really think they are a great compromise tire,
for Street, Autocross, and HPDE.

But they don't have the sizes I want for my C7 Z51 (getting wider wheels),
so I have to get 295x30x19 front, and 315x30x20 rear.

But I want something with a little less diameter in the rear.
Say 305x30x19, and 305x30x20,

I see the ContiFC has exactly the sizes I want, and they are comparable to R888.

So... has anyone actually tried both, and what are your feelings.

Thanks

The Force Contact falls right in between the Pilot Sport Cup and the R888

Luke,
yes, I already have visited your site, and have checked out that comparison.
But it was for a BMW M3.... I would like something from Corvette people,
so I am asking here.

But let me ask you......
I have run 5 years with R888 (on my C6), and I really like them.

Will the Conti be as good (generally speaking), or better, or worse,
overall?

Also, there is a dramatic price difference between R888 and Conti.

OK, has ANYONE used Bridgestone ContiForceContact tires ?

If so, what do you think of them?
