I just ordered some of these for my 1LE
305/30/20
for the rear
Anyone here has had these on there car and what do you think ?
I had Nitto 555G2 before but with bigger tires in the rear (315/35/20)
I went smaller cause they didn't have it for that size.
Any personal experience would be appreciated.
I should receive it by tomorrow.

305/30? Keep in mind this tire will be ~1.2" smaller in diameter compared to the factory 1LE rear tire (305/35). What size tire are you running on the front? If 285/35, a 305/30 rear will be ~0.65" smaller than the front, compared to ~0.55" bigger with a factory 305/35.

Goodyear F1 G2 has the 285/35-20 @ 27.9"

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 305/30-20 is 27.2"

So 0.7" diameter difference

The MP4S are great tires. I have them on my 2013 1LE in OEM size. Less ultimate lateral grip than the G2 (when warmed up), much better cold grip and incredible wet grip (better wet grip than any other street tire I've had).

They feel a little more compliant in the sidewall. Great street tire, great rain tire.

I have 5000 or so miles on them now.

well I have a 1LE but I got aftermarket wheels.
The 1LE wheels are 20x10 in the front
and 20x11 in the rear.

But for now I am using a wheel that are a bit smaller all around
20x9.5 in the front
20x10.5 in the rear

The tire size I have in the front is 275/45/20
In the rear I have 315/35/20 in the rear

I hope that this information would help

I got them for the front and YES they are amazing
I should get these same tires tomorrow for the rear and I can't wait to say goodbye to the Nitto 555G2

Best tire I have had on my Camaro. Beats the MPSS by a long shot. 285/35-20 all the way around.

Wonder how a 305/30/20 square set up would be on the 1le? Would this 305/30/20 fit up front on the ZL1/1le wheel? I was thinking about going to a 295/30/20 square set up, anybody have experience with the 295/30/20?

My Late Father, God rest his Soul, swore by Michelins!!! That was all he would ever run on his cars. If you tried to talk about any other tire brand he would shut you down in a heart beat!!! And honestly he never had any issues with them, the lasted and ran great!!!
