Time For Tires
Yes It is that time. Do you have any recommendations for a set of four. I would like run flats. The Vette is a summer driver and on dry roads most of the time.

The Michelin A/S ZPs would be an excellent choice if you are sticking with run flats

I would recommend dumping the run flats and going with Michelin PS2's. The ride and handling would be so improved you would think you bought a new car, not just tires.

Firestone Firehawks. Put them on my car about two weeks ago. Its like driving a new car again. Better ride and less noise.

If you're going to stick with runflats then go with the Michelin ZP's. They are more money but you will be amazed at the difference from the GoodYears. If you're willing to go non-runflat I'd go with Toyo T1ZR's. You'll get a much better ride than with the runflats and better handling. The price is also pretty decent. I went with these once I decided not to use runflats and the car works much better.

I'm far from a flag-waver IMO, however ..........
Goodyear has chosen to build their new World Headquarters right here in Northeastern Ohio while many manufacturers are running to Mexico and various foreign countries while many whine about our U.S.economy? I have to hang with Goodyear as I applaud their commitment to THIS country
I've stayed with the OEM's and never perceived any noise issues although I don't have any other brands to compare to. Really, what I primarily hear in the Vette is ARH longtubes and Corsa Indys
