HI there, You most likely will never set a service active handling light, HOWEVER, your tire sizes are NOT OPTIMIZED for this system. Rotational circumference is critical to how it works, so in the event it is working, may not act as it should. That is the ONLY thing that you should be concerned with . Allthebest, c4c5 |

Since you work for Goodyear, and there's only a handful of tires available for that size, I assume you put on the Eagle F1 Asymmetric. How is that tire and how does it compare the the Pilot Sport PS2 and Bridgestone RE050? I've never had a set of those new F1s come through my shop yet and am curious how well it stacks up.

nope I personally don't like the goodyear "vette tire" they get hard as a rock after a few thousand miles and dont last and are twice as high as any other tire you can buy. My other 2 c-5's I put toyo t1r's on them and that is what i keep in stock//// 265/40/17 295/35/18 sizes, I have sold a ton of those! But my z06 has 275/30/19 conticontact2 on the front and went with 295/30/20 gen exclaim uhp, never used those before but I have sold a ton of them.
