Top Five Summer Tires for Your Corvette

Wondering how to get the most out of your Corvette this summer? Check out our list of top 5 summer tires!  

Summertime means barbecue, vacation, and in many parts of the country getting off winter or all-season tires and running a good set of summer rubber. It does not matter if you are driving a 1,000-horsepower monster or a well-used example from several generations ago. Tires are one of the most critical components on any car, and especially on a sports car.

In no particular order, we are offering up our favorite tires for the summer of 2020. No cheater tires here, that are essentially r-compounds masquerading as a street tire. Our list focuses on high-performance rubber that can still get you through a pop-up summer thunderstorm without white knuckles.

Yokohama introduced their newest ultra-high performance tire within the last couple of years and it has been proven to be a top performer. This tire was designed for not just exceptional handling and tremendous grip but also a quiet and comfortable ride. In our experience with this tire, Yokohama has hit the mark in all areas. Best of all these are on the lower end of the pricing scale.
