Default Tire availability

It seems like there are more options or tires available for 18 F and 19 R wheels than the OEM 17/18 on the '03 Z06.

Is this a true statement? Even flames appreciated.

Alrighty then. Stumping the masses.

When I do searches at Direct and TireRack, I get more options. Need to look closer on the 9.5 and 10.5 measurement of the rim fitment.

On Tire Rack's website, do NOT search for both front and rear tires at the same time. For some reason, it'll only list a few options. If you search for each size individually, and then compare what's available, you'll see that there's actually many more matching sets available.

In comparison to 18/19 sizes, I wouldn't know personally...

I believe you are correct, worst if you have 18 on all corners like I do.

I won a set of free Yokahama tires about a year ago. They didn't have a match line in front/rear sizes. So I ended up replacing the truck tires that werent that old.....its crazy out there.
