How do you know they will come in our stock sizes? Was there a press release?

Perhaps that's due to the OEM tires being run flat. However, they do list the proper sizes, 285/30/19, 335/25/20.

If anyone buys a set, I'd like to see how they compare to the Super Sports or Sport Cup 2s. If I read the tire description correctly, it shows as 100/A/A, tread wear 100, but only A and not AA for traction? With a 100 rating, will these be more like Sport Cup 2s in that it will be difficult to get them hot enough with street driving?

That traction rating is for braking on a straight "wet" surface, so the A rating doesn't necessarily mean they are worse than the Cup2s, but probably not an ideal street tire if it is damp out. Honestly surprised the Cup2 gets an AA traction rating.

Well run company

Well, it looks like it will be a while before someone gets to test them out!

I haven't found any tire stores in So Cal that have the Goodyear F1 supercar 3 tires for the C7 Z06 yet. If others have found them, where and what tire store chain?
