Thanks to the Forum for the great info on tires. I would highly recommend these tires over the stocks! They ride smooth and the grip is outstanding:banana Not to mention they look awesome.
 
In spite of their lack of 200+ mph testing, I trust them more than the F1s at those speeds too.

I think some owner have had them in excess of 200 mph at the Mojave and Texas mile.

For a short period.........not at sustained speed over 200 mph, which is the certification for the GY F1's.
 
I would be content to stay below 200 just to have the extra grip and less noise.
 
Black GT, would you mind posting the F/R sizes you went with on your "stones"? Thanks.

I may well be looking at these too when I need new tires.

100% price increase from Goodyear for the F1's is just not realistic and they obviously want to price themselves out of this market without having to take flack from the GT community that the tire is no longer available.
 
I would be interested in the sizes as well.

Best match F 255/40 R 345/35
 
Here's the Bridgestone sizes I would recommend for front and rear.

I would clarify this stament The 345/35/19 Scuderia rear tires were desiged for the Enzo Ferrarri which goes 218 MPH. If you have 19" Front wheels you can run the matching Front ScuderiaTire

Sorry guys just looking at the thread now. 265/40ZR18 and 345/35R19. Go with the above. The rear end looks much more wide with the 345s back there and the fronts look great. Really like the handling and grip. This forum has a wealth of info!
 
So did Black-GT use the 255 or the 265 size on the front?
