Default Tire sizing question

Looking at switching from the OEM tires to an all season Michelin AS4 Run Flat. I'm looking at a slightly larger than OEM size in a 305/30-20, on a 2016 Z06 with Z07 on factory wheels. Anyone running this size? Any issues? Thanks!

Can’t comment on the size but I just had the AS4 put on my 15 Z06 a few weeks ago and they are extremely noisy and rough riding. Tires are being replaced next week with the MPSS.

The MPSS is perfect for my driving, but I believe that you are the first person I've heard that described the AS4 as harsh. Interesting information.

Your post is confusing. The Z06 factory tires were 285/30-19 and 335/25-20 so I'm not sure how a "slightly larger 305/30-20 fits that scenario. If you meant to say a 305/30-19 on the stock front wheels that's certainly doable as I have a set of PS4S with that size on the fronts and have no issues.
