Default Michelin PS-2's?

I have a 2006 C6 Mag ride suspension (non-Z-51). Can I put 295 30 19 rear and 255 35 18 fronts with no traction control issues?

You would want to put a 295/35/19 or 305/30/19 on the rear.

You would also want to go with a 255/40/18 in the front or 265/35/18.

A 295/30/19 would look quite silly with the amount of wheel gap you would have as would the 255/35/18

Match the 295/35 with a 245/40 or 255/40 or match the 305 together with a 245/40 or 265/35

and the 265 35 18 fronts?

To be completely honest I'm not totally sure about the 265, although I would imagine it would go on without any complications.

The 305 will absolutely fit the rears.

Edit - I'm sure the 265 would be ok now. I was thinking the front wheel was 8" stock, but it looks like it's 8.5"

i had the 265/305 combo on the stock rims for a while and they did fit like a glove. No problems or issues, go for it!

Yeah, I run 265/305 too. The fronts actually fit better than the rears. The rears are a little big, but I find zero issues using them on stocks wheels. The performance and ride gain is unbelievable. You will have no regrets.

Did you go with that size combo? Does it work for autoX and HPDE's?
