I just put Sumitomo's on, $450 for all four including shipping from Tire Rack. Had them do a 4 wheel alignment. All 4 were out of spec. WOW, drives like a different car now.

Tirerack shows they are still available (315 F1 GS D3) but they are out of stock, expected 11/27.

I've never heard of them and they certainly look different than any tire pattern I've seen for a Corvette. It is nice to know there are other options out there besides the ones mentioned already. I hope someone buys a set and reports back to us on them.

Never seen them either. Interesting tread.

I prefer the tread on the BFG's but thats just me.

Cosmetically I am with you.

However if those ride and grip well along with having a decent tread life I would give them a shot. I just don't plan on being the first one to test them out.
