Default New tire to try

Anyone see the new Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar 3R ?
Not sure if this is the tire on the ZL1 Camaro but its offered in the same size rears as on the Z06 , cost is 2/3 the price of the Michelins ( at least up here ) .
Anyone get any feedback on these ?

It doesn't appear that this tire comes in the stock size for the rears.

correct you need a 19”x12 rear and a 19x11 front to run their stock 305 up front as well.

Photos may differ from actual product.

This is what the web site sent me

Why? Goodyear's website lists the tires in the GS/Z06/ZR1 stock sizes for the front & rear: https://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires...3r/sizes-specs

That’s a new release then and not the stock zl1 size which I wrongly thought was all they made. Thanks for the correction! I didn’t know they released that.

They list the correct sizes in the link above but if you go back to the tire description & then hit the button to see if they fit your car & put in your info it says - This tire does not fit your vehicle. Either they're so new that you can't actually get them yet or someone needs to update their website.

Goodyear has had our sizes (285/30/19 & 335/25/20) on their website for over 6 months now. I chatted with someone on the site and they told me to contact my nearest retailer. I’ve contacted 3 and all of them say it’s coming but they don’t know when.
Well run company
