Default Goodyear G2

I was at the local Chevy dealer and noticed a different tire on the new Vettes. As I looked closer I found they were Goodyear F1 G2's.
I search information on the web and the only size I find is for the wider wheels (Z06 and GS). Do they make them to fit the base (Z51) wheels?

Anyone have comments on their performance, ride and noise vs the original F1's on my Z51.

Are they any better than Nitto's?

The G2 performance may not be what we were all hoping for.

Goodyear could bring out one of the best tires on the market now and I still wouldn't buy them. They have a crappy reputation.

A year ago GY tried to sell me a USED, yes USED, rear F1 tire for my Z06. I bought two tires and one of them was clearly used. (Red and green stripes as well as the radii were gone from the top of the treads...a white line was painted on to make it seem as if new though). Luckily I hand carried in my wheels (winter time) otherwise I would have never caught it. No apologies or explaination from the warehouse they ordered them from.

Done with them for life.
