Default Michelin PS2 - 315x30x18

Thought I'd share this with the Corvette brethren

If anyone needs 315x30x18 tires, theres a nice deal a brand new pair PS2s on fleabay:

2 New Michelin PS2

Comparing that to retail price is hard to beat! I just ordered a pair.

I doubt it, I believe OEM Z rear wheels are only 18x10

Yes they will fit but with the 30 series sidewall they will be shorter than your stock 295/35. You'll want to make sure your front tires are sized accordingly to avoid TC/AH issues.

The rear Z06 wheel is 18x10.5. There are several forum members who have put these tires on that wheel without problems.

I have to check the diameter so the stagger will be correct

Correct. I believe you want about .5" difference minimum between the rear tire diameter and the front. Just do a search there are a million topics on this subject.
