Looking at this one and the 19" from the ACR side by side the thread pattern is the same. However, the ACR version has far more contact patch with the grooves merely suggestive. It won't grip as well as the ACR version.

That said I wouldn't mind trying them. Combined with the ACR version for the rear they are compatible with the Corvette on board electronics and should provide for a lot of stick rear vs. front which should make the car easy to drive albeit a bit hard to turn in.

Found this on another forum:

Was hoping to fit the V720 on the front of my 08 Z06, but 305 is a bit aggressive and will most likely rub, though I haven't found proof yet. Went with the P91 in the front and the 355 ACR V720 in the rear.

Thanks,

Can't say anything about the 555R2, but NT-01s aren't very good in the rain. That's with typical Florida monsoon weather though, so YMMV.
