The Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires have a treadwear rating of 220. That's in line with a Bridgestone RE-71R with a treadwear rating of 200. Even the Michelin PSC2 tires have a treadwear rating of 180. I consider those "relatively" near R-compound tires.


The MPSS is a different class of tire as a max performance summer tire with a treadwear rating of 300.


Also the actual sale price of a C7 1LT GS is about $60k. The actual sale price of a SS 1LE is around $42k.


I think there's no question the C7 GS (non Z07) is a substantially faster car than the 1SS 1LE. Same treadwear tires would increase that gap.

Not to mention the SS1le comes with the regular eagle f1 Supercar Tires not supercar 3, that's for the ZL1 1LE. The regular f1 supercar tires are also max summer performance and are consistently rated worse than MPSS or MP4S in dry performance handling.
I do however agree that the GS is easily the better track car but the starting price on it is $65,495 https://www.chevrolet.com/performanc...ort-sports-car

I stand corrected, the SS 1LE comes with the Goodyear® Eagle® F1 SuperCar G:2 tires.

However, like the Goodyear® Eagle® F1 SuperCar 3 tires, they both have a treadwear rating of 220 and they are both grouped as "Extreme Performance Summer Tires" and not "Max Performance Summer Tires" like the MPSS MPS4S (at least according to Tirerack.)
