LSX228R

I was thinking of replacing just the rear tires on my c6 with R888's and keeping the stock good years up front. The car is making around 600rwhp and I am unable to hook in the lower gears. Do you think buying just the rear tires will be fine?

Thanks

Although I don't have a Vette but I do have a Camaro.. I know a few guys that did this exact setup and it's fine. I have r888's on my rears and stock GY Eagle F1's for the fronts.

However, if you're tracking the car hard then match the tires. With a rear wheel drive car and a staggered setup, there shouldn't be any issues. For the AWD's or folks running a square setup then it's better to match.

The rule of thumb is, always match driver and passenger tires/wheels

Thanks man. I'll just order the rear tires then. Just need to find them online since my local tire warehouse can't get them.

Btw, they stop making the r888s so you might have to use r888r's.. which is what I'll do eventually.

When did they stop? I still see them for sale.
