What would be a good tire for this car on the 20" wheels. I wanted some goodyear eagle F1's but they don't come in a 275/45ZR20. anyone else know a good tire in that size?

Perelli Pzero rosso,

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - the tire that Chevy said destroyed other tires when they tested for the ZR1

If you go to tirerack.com and type the size in they will give you all available tires in that size. From what I remember, there is not that many yet.

not in the exact size but some in slightly wider sizes that will still fit according to GM and would increase contact patch so that would be a bonus.

the pirellis that come on the car are a very sticky tread. one of the best. bfgoodrich als has a good comp t/a tire. and goodyear eagle f1 supercar are nice too.

The 275 Pirelli's that come on there are excellent tires. You will be perfectly fine with those. When they wear out, slap some 305's on!

Given the stock sizes, there are not many choices.

Personaly I recomend Goodyear GSD 3's. They are a bit pricey but I have found nothing else that compares to them yet.

Dom · 11-02-2008, 06:34 PM

I wish Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals came in those size. I have them now and they are an amazing tire in dry and wet. I guess if I get the P245/50R19 stock I can replace them with P255/45R19. Only -2.1% difference. $215 each not bad for that size. For P245/45R20, they got P245/40R20, -3.4% off. For P275/40ZR20, they got P275/35ZR20, -3.8% off or P295/40ZR20, +2.2% off. GM sure likes those weird sizes.

Has anybody tried the BF Goodrich g-Force™ T/A® KDW? This tread pattern looks sick; almost like the pattern you always see on concept cars.
