I like having 18/19"(stock c6 sizes) tires on my old zo6 I think the larger tires look better and ride better.

Yep; it's a LOT easier to find performance tires in Corvette sizes for 18/19 than 17/18

I don't have stock wheels on my car, I have CCW Classics 18"x 10" front and 18"x 11" rear. I have the Vreds in 263/35-18 f and 295/35-18 r. It didn't answer your question, but maybe it could help you if no one else answers you. BTW, love these tires.

Yes, there are MANY people here using these tires and they love them. If you followed my advice, you'd find all of their reviews.

There are much better tires available now, however. The Vreds haven't been updated as compounds have improved.

We need to get on the email bandwagon and get Michelin to make us a front correct size tire.

I asked Michelin and they said no plans for a 265-40-17.

they also said that about 295 35 18 last year

even 275 40 17 would be fine and that's a more useful size since it fits many more cars, mustangs, c4s, camaros etc

Well I shot Michelin an email anyway. Maybe they'll get the hint if they get enough questions about it.

that's all we can do. luckily 275 40 17 is still popular enough there is a chance. 265, while i WISH that happened so i could use stock wheels again, it's a rare size used on few cars

I have the Bridgestone's RE760's in stock sizes. Depending on how you drive your Z, check them out. For the money and stock, "stock" sizing, they can't be beat.
