Default Toyo T1R tires
Are the Toyo T1R tires just as wide as the Goodyear F1 Supercar, because the rear tires on the Goodyear supercar look wide and that is the look I am looking for on my new rear Z06 18x10.5 rims. Thanx

Thanx, but how does the width of the Toyo compares to the width of the Goodyear f1 supercar.

I replaced my Supercars with T1R's. The Supercars may have a more squared off tread shoulder, but looking from the rear the T1R's look great.

I just purchased a set from Tire Deals for less.com and they look great on the new wheels I bought from Bob @ House of Wheels.I can't speak for the F1 s but these Toyos look great especially from behind the car. By the way both these businesses are excellent to deal with and provide quick shipping and service.

I wish I could post a pic of my coupe for you but to describe the look just awesome. My 20 something son and his friends told me as I pulled away the car looked like it was all tires. I used the standard Z06 295 width. good luck if you buy ask about the nationwide road hazard for an additional charge .I purchased it and feel it was worth the cost.

They look better on the car than the F1's.
Have S's on the rear, and R's on the front

The R superseded the S; S is no longer available (unless it's been sitting in a warehouse for a few years).

Just installed my new Toyo T1R's yesterday. The Toyo is about an 1/8 inch narrower than the Supercar. On the car you cannot tell the difference. Quieter tire and does not follow depressions in the road
