I just checked myself, very odd. All the rear Z06 sized tires are listed as Rear: 295/35YR18 including the Michelins. While the fronts are listed as Front: 265/40ZR17. This has to be a typo on their part. Because on the GY site they are listed as Z rated.

They are Z rated, so don't worry.

I thought the same as both of you. But when they arrived they were both Z rated.

It must be a error in there web page.
