Default New tires for the C6 came... Mickey Thompson Street Comp
Thanks to the taxman being prompt in returning my money, ordered these yesterday from Summit and they got dropped off this morning. The limited amount of feedback I could find have all been very positive... Will post impressions once spring comes

I did 340 miles on Saturday. Twisty mountain roads and high speed sweepers. I even combined that with eating the best biscuits and gravy in Arizona at the Horseshoe Cafe in Wickenburg.

Pretty sure it's just a revised/modified Cooper RS3-S, look almost the same but there's slight differences.

We have 3-5" of snow coming tonight. Hopefully that doesn't derail my plans to get them on Saturday.

Nice looking tires. I wonder if they're any good in rain in case you get caught in one of our SW FL showers.

There's a video of them testing them. They wet down the whole track. I'm going to look for it now.

Yeah, TR/Discount don't really sell the other mickeys and this is their first entry into a true street tire.
