The car had GS-C's on it when I bought it and they are still going strong. All three of my Corvettes have Goodyears. I have always been happy with Goodyear tires so my cars will probably continue to roll on them in the future.

Michelin Pilot Sport. Terrific tire in every way but very expensive. Easily the quietest and smoothest of the brands I have had. Wet, dry traction is great.

My car had Sumitomos on it when I bought it. I thought they looked odd (smaller in the wheel well) than others. They were not good performers, dry or wet, but the price is cheap enough if you don't mind losing the rear end occasionally.

I did a lot of research before settling on a new set of Vredestein Ultrac's. I've owned and driven many Corvettes with all sorts of tires, but I have never had anything grip this well in both dry and wet conditions. Plus, the odd tread design gets conversations going!

BFG KD's were on my car when I bought it three years ago. I shortly needed new rears and the Goodyear D3's weren't available or I'd have bought a set as it was I replaced the rears and will hope for more Goodyear luck next time.

I purchased the sumitomos in April of this year mostly because of cost. I don't need the performance characteristics of the (much) more expensive tires. Plus I don't drive the care a WHOLE lot, maybe a few thousand miles a year. It just didn't make sense to put on expensive tires that will dry rot off before the tread wears out.

I bought Sumi's two years ago, about 2,000 mi on them and I'm not dissatisfied (that's knda like backing into an OK). I will probabably try anoter tire brand when I replace them.

I bought these tires just after I purchased my 90 (1422). 95-style wheels and tires were $1036, mounted, balanced and delivered to my door. Hard to pass up. 9.5" on the fronts and 11" on the rears, So far they seem to run well, but seem to smake a lot in first and second
