Guys, so one question I have for this...if you're going to 295/35/20 on front & 315/35/20 on rear..doesn't this mess up tac or speedometer since you are going wider, but with the same sidewall percentage ?

1troyd23 · 09-10-2015, 03:27 PM

wouldn't the overall diameter of the tire be larger then ?

1troyd23 · 09-10-2015, 03:55 PM

just for reference I did an online chat with a tire rack rep. he stated that 285/35/20 (27.9) & 295/35/20(28.1) , so only a difference of .2 taller. for the rear 305/35/20 (28.4) & 315/35/20 (28.7) only a difference of .3 taller. he also said it should rub or cause any issues with tac or speedometer...fyi

ooops !! I meant to say it SHOULD NOT RUB OR CAUSE ANY OTHER ISSUES.....

The difference will be ao minimal that it will be hardly discernible.

1troyd23 · 09-10-2015, 04:50 PM

yes, that is what the tire rack rep stated as well..good to know !!

1troyd23 · 09-10-2015, 04:55 PM

it still seems like only the Michelin Pilot SS have a matching front & rear set for the sizes of 295/35/20 & 315/35/20. Are there any others ?

1troyd23 · 09-10-2015, 06:00 PM

Actually , Nitto Invo has a matching set for 295/35/20 front & 315/35/20 rear. Anybody using these already ? Thoughts ? Reviews ?

Stick with the MPSS over the Invos, way superior. Invos are ok but you dont want them on your ZL1. They are a better tire for underpowered vehicles.

I have these tires and i can say that EVERY speed trap/radar I've passed that my speedometer agreed with the speed shown/indicated every time.

Are the MPSS available now? They've been out of stock for a while. I've been looking into the Hankook Ventus R-S3 version 2. Anyone have any performance experience with these?

Rvnmaniac.. That is good to know...Zed..yeah I would always go with Michelins over Nitto !!!!! Thanks Guys !!!

Be advised that there are 2 different MPSS in the 295 size.
I first had a set of the wider version.
The driver side (only...?) made deep contact, such that I replaced them with a set of the narrow 295s.
The narrower 295 makes minor contact on the driver sided only.
On the rear...the 315s make light contact when the car is loaded.

Are you running stock ZL1 wheels or reproductions? I have the wider 295's and they do not rub on my stock suspension with my stock wheels and I've used them on the road course with no rubbing issue. Just curious on your setup.
