Does anyone know if the BF Goodrich G – force rival will fit the rear of my ZL1 in the 315/35/20 size?

It looks like I am going to have to go with the Goodyear F1 tires due to availability
I assume these tires are good since they are OEM SuperCar tires.
Will the 315/35/20 version of the F1 fit the rear of my ZL1?

do they make the GY in a 315? I couldn't find any, but many are running the Michelin pss in the 315/35

No, I just found out they don't, so I went with OEM F1 replacements.
Next time, I will have time to plan better and order the Michelin PSS of the Goodrich G-Force

Huge waste of money putting the OEM tires back on it. They don't last long and they have crappy traction until you get them really warm. My wife has the G-force Rivals on her Vette. Nice tire, but she is spinning them and her C4 only makes 290HP at the wheels, so I can only imagine what they would do on out cars. The Very best tire I have seen is the Michelin PSS, but they are supper expensive. If you have the cash then get those, if not you need to be looking at something like the Mickey Thompson Street Comps or the Cooper RS3-R's. Good traction, good wear, last longer then OEM and have good traction when wet as well. Just remember these are UHP tires and not drag radials. You will still get some spin, but no where like the OEM's. There are some other tires out there and work well on our cars as well (that I have heard about). Might check the forums 1st to see what others are using and saying and then make a choice. The M/T Street Comps can be picked up for 159.00-189.00 each.

The good thing is I live in SE Florida where it's ALWAYS hot, and I'm going to start tracking the car in about a month. It's 90 degrees right now, seriously.
Unfortuantely, I need rubber badly now, so I will go with the OEM F1's and order the Michelins in a few months and store them until I need them.
In the mean time I'm going to lower it, get a tune for my CAI, do some cosmetic mods, then headers and exhaust.
I'm so excited just to have the car sitting in my driveway it's crazy.
Gotta clean out the garage tonight so it has a home :-)
