Eagle F1 GS-D3...

I hate to ask but I couldn't find what I needed using the search feature

...

Has anyone put these on their Z??? They don't seem to have the front OEM size (265/40/17) and wonder if there's a different width people have gone with. If not, I'll probably just go with some Michelin Pilot sports.

TIA & Mahalo!!!

They do make them in Z06 sizes. I know someone who just bought them. I think the front is a 275/40/17.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

I just checked my tires; OEM is 265/40/17... Will running 275's really mess things up (ABS/TCS, etc.)? I've gotta claim ignorance here, I've never really understood the whole tire ratio thing

Any more guidance?

Thanks again!!!

As long as the diameter of the fronts is less than that of the rears, there is no issue with active handling.
Fronts 275/40/17 25.7
Rears 295/35/18 26.1

You can use the 275's up front with no problem whatsoever.
They do indeed make the rear 295/35x18.
I run these tires on 2 of my cars, my C5 and my 2006 Honda Civic Si which I auto-X

I would recommend the GS-D3's highly..

I also run the C5 on high banked Pocono Raceway here in PA withe GS-D3. They are very good....

I use 295/35x18 rear and 265/35x18 front
