Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 Sizing
My 2001 Z06 calls for a 265 40 ZR 17 front tire. I was seriously going to consider purchasing a full set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's but they only appear to come in a 275 40 ZR 17 front size (the closest match I could find). The backs are available in the correct sizing.
My question is what adverse effect would it be if I went yo 275's vs. 265's in the front of my Z06? I know the profile will change and most likely the overall width of the tire. As we know, the wider the front tire the more "road rut grab" a Corvette will have.
One other choice I was considering was the Toyo Proxes T1R's which come in the correct front and back sizing. Some of teh articles I have read on the Toyo's however, do not rate them as high as the Goodyears.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
