Yes T1R proxes. 285/19 fronts 305/20 rears on I Forged wheels. So far the ride is quiet and smooth.Car feels really glued during corners. Then again I only have about 50 miles on them.

Nice. I run these tires on my BMW. They are excellent. I never thought of putting them on the Vette. An "International" marriage!
