MPSS Tire Size

I need new tires for my ZL1 and was wondering what size that most owners were going to given the sizes available for our cars and there satisfaction with them.
I will definitely use the MPSS's.
Thanks!

The mpss 315/35/20 has 2 types, k1 and k2. The k2 has a tread depth of 10/32 and k1 has a tread depth of 7/32. Both are rated for the same milage so, I don't know if one has any benefits over the other. If someone knows any thing about the diffrrences, please chime in.

I cannot say for sure , but my guess is the K2 is a newer variant, and the extra 60% useable tread (8/32 vs 5/32 last 2/32 are considered un-useable) doesn't hurt on the rear of a 580hp+ car

I don't understand why you are even weighing in on this since you said that this "topics been beat to death,295&315".

Him being an asshole has nothing to do with his citizenship.

im not trying to type proper sentences, but if you want to be an english teacher; you should have a space after a comma, and you shouldn't be capitalizing whole words, and trying to use my nationality as an insult further proves your level of ignorance
