Default 295/35/19 in a run flat???

Going to be ordering a new 08 Vette soon and I want to upgrade the tires on the car once I get it. I'd like to run a 255/40/18 in front and a 295/35/19 in the rear but I can't find the 295 in a run flat tire. Any one know if the run flat tires are made in this size???


I've tried Tirerack and they only show the run flats in the stock C6 sizes.

Why would you want a tire with less fwd traction?

IMO you will push the fwd traction of the C6 more than the lateral limits

Go with the: Nitto Invo or Mich PS2's

do a little search for more info
