Another vote for Eagle F1 GS-D3's. Great wet and dry traction, great handling, and very quiet. Not cheap, but worth it!
Any tire recommendations?

Any tire recommendations?
Need new tires...
Looking for Z rated, quiet, everyday tires... a little tread for a rainy day might not be bad either, but not at the expense of quiet.

<---- See avatar. Yeah, I'm a tad happy with the PS2s. A bit pricey, but I feel is one of the best purchases I've made for the vette yet. Extremely good for being a run flat. My wife even commented on how smooth and quite they are. I didn't even have to bring it up.

GS-D3's seem like a great tire - no personal experience though... i have run firestone wide ovals, goodrich, and kuhmo's on my 85, and they all seem like a good tire for the $$$. i presently have cooper zeon's on my 90. they are okay, but they do perform much better when they warm up. my suggestion is to go tho the tire rack - punch in the size for the 94 corvette, and go to the survey results - try this:

tires are very subjective - you will probably get as many recommendations as cars on the road...

For those looking for a very reasonably priced tire. Aurora's (made by Khumo?) and being sold by a dealer on Ebay.

I absolutely love the Michelin Pilot Sports that are on both of my C4s. They're quiet, traction is outstanding, and treadwear is quite good given that they're performance tires.
