Right now the Bridgestones in 295/30R20-305/30R20 combo seems to be the go to choice unless you want to mix brands to get a 285 up front and 305 out back, which some people frown upon.

This is the third winter I'll be going through waiting for Michelin or someone to make a matching 285-305 set for our cars. My hope is that the C8 with it's 305/30R20 rear tires will bring more choices to the market for all season tires.

You could go full winter tire in the 285-305 combo, but thats $$$$.

I posted this in your other post on MMR rims:

It's been covered here a hundred times, not many choices and best to get them in the summer months as they sell out quick. Bridgestone RE980 in 295/30-20 front and 305/30-20 in the rear and yes a 295 will fit. Lexani also makes the LX Twenty in actual sizes. I have had both, got the Lexani's because the Bridgestones were on national backorder, then purchased the RE980's over the summer. The only knock on the LX Twenty was they were a bit loud. Some folks have put up that Michelin has a PS4 A/S but I haven't been able to find them in 305/30-20 non run flat.

I'm using Conti ExtremeContact Sport for street and wet track. They work great for both purposes.

Front: 285/30ZR20
Rear: 305/30ZR20

Except those are performance summer tires, the OP wants all season tires that won't turn into hockey pucks when the temperature dips below forty.

I use Conti ECS as a 'wet' tire for our track Miata... I can confirm they're really good in the wet.

If it weren't for our temps here (25*F driving to C&C this morning), I would use them year 'round on the ZL1.

I have come to like the Conti's after 7-8,000 miles of street use. At first they seemed vague and a little sloppy, now they feel more like I expected them to feel.
Wet performance is quite a bit more confidence inspiring than the Goodyears, and they are a little more forgiving in cooler temps, but I don't plan on using them below freezing at all.

Sad to hear the Bridgestones are extremely harsh.

Looks like I might be buying some Lexanis for the first time ever! Thanks for the info. $567 total from Wallyworld. My OEM Goodyears were loud at 8000 miles and I'm at 10000. These could get me through the winter then I'll get something better for my February HPDE weekend. Contis are $1300, Michelins $1700, Goodyears are $950 for their performance tires.

I ran those all winter/spring and they exceeded my expectations and the price is amazing. As said I purchased the Bridgestones when available but I'm not convinced I made an improvement for my additional $600 over the Lexanis, more of a sideways move.

What kind of difference have ya'll found running a 295/30/20 front tire? Rubbing or speedo error?

You will not notice, no rubbing.

[Rodan]

Yup, no noticeable difference.
