New tire option to fit ZL1

Just released last week and available this summer. Comes in 285/35R20 for the front and 315/35R20 for the rear.
BFG G-force Rival
Could be a very good option to the Goodyear G2's

Those ratings don't mean very much across tire brands. Each manufacturer sets their own ratings in relation to the tires they sell. Although it will wear fast, it may still outlast the OE setup.

looks like those tire were rode hard lol. Ive nver been a huge BFG fan, I am willing to take another look if these tires can do a better or same job as the goodyears.

I was personally looking at the Nitto invo's as replacements when needed.

Tire rack does show the sizes for the ZL1, for about the same price as the goodyears. About $370 a piece.

That tire in the pic is from a road course test. They pushed those things harder than most of us ever will. My G2's looked worse after 1 day on the road course and doubt I was as hard them as the test tire in the pic.
