Hi Robert ,

335/25-20" gives roughly the same rolling radius as a standard 285/30-20" rear , you may find these links most helpful :wink:

The Corvette ZR1 uses Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Tires on the rear :wink:

I see you are in Bristol.

Try John also at Whitehouse Tyres, Bedminster. John always did best prices for me when he used to look after my tyre needs.
