So glancing at new rotors, RockAuto is listing two different size rotors for the front. A 277mm and a 292mm. Any ideas which one applies to which cars. I can't find anything on google saying these got different size brakes at some point. Is one for the Brembo option of the newer cars?

You want 292mm. The 277mm are for the twins that come with 16" wheels in other countries.

They're fine. Just slow and need spraying. Everyone is fucked on them, so who cares?

Wear looks great. They are fun to drive on. They are cheap. They are slow, but you don't really notice that until you compare yourself to other classes.

They really don't suck. They're just not as fast as the top tier tires.

I think the Falken's are *real* 200TW tires.

RT215s used to be the business and was inferior to this tire.

I am fine with a long running tire that costs $800 less than the Rivals on the 'vette.
