Default Hoosier R7 tires for my 2016 Z06

I have noticed that Hoosier does not sale 285/30R19 track tires but 295/30R19. Hoosier sales the stock size for the rear. Does anyone know if the bigger tire on the front causes any issues with clearance?

Are these good track tires as compared to Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires?

Thanks guys

Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires are not even track tires, whereas Hoosier R7s are one of the best track tires in the market. 295s will work. Many members use 315/345 tires on 18" wheels.

Yea, I know. The Michelin SS are what I have on my 16 Z06. I guess I should had left off the comparison question. Glad to hear the R7's are good tires. If some guys are running 18's are they are they running 18's on all corners? or Just up front?

Thanks

In my case, I'm running 18x11 front and 18x12.5 wheels with 315/30/18 front and 345/35/18 rear tires. You can actually make similar configs with 18"/19" and 19"/19" as well, but 18"/18" is most common, which used to have more tire options available, be I think all these diameters have plenty of options, now.

I had no problem with 295/30R19 MPSS on the front.
