No its not. The 1Le comes with the black ZL1 wheels on it and has 285's on all 4 corners.

Correct - below taken from Chevy.com describing the 1LE wheels:

The package includes:
  • 20" x 10" front and 20" x 11" rear aluminum wheels with a 10-spoke design from the ZL1TM and a low-gloss Black finish
  • 285/35ZR20 Goodyear® Eagle® F1 Supercar® Generation 2 performance summer tires†, front and rear

The ZL1's come w/285's in the front and 305's in the rear

Is there any reason why you couldn't split the difference and run 295s on all four, assuming you can find that size tire?

They would be fine... not much wider. ...what 1/2 inch or so.

The BFG's are great in colder weather. Got them mounted and drove around this past weekend. Much more grip in cold weather than the stock Goodyears. A bit louder, but not bad. Happy to not have to worry about the tires cracking when it gets cold. All in all I'm happy with them.

I thought they are more quieter than the high performance summer only tires?

I will be having
1 -305/35/20 bfg &
1-285/35/20 bfg for sale soon. Bought them in November, wife hit a curb and messed up pass front/rear side wheels/tires and got a good deal on MPSS 285/35/20 and 315/35/20 for Half price. Just hoping the 315/35/20 won't rub!

FYI. Tire rack just posted an availability date on bfg comp 2 a/s 305/35/20; available 3/31/16! If you missed out, make sure to order on that date! They sell out fast

Love my BFG Rivals but supply is almost non exsistant and while they are OK in the wet it isma trade off of Hi Perf Summer handling vs wet traction & lifespan
