Default recon/Vette

I currently have 11"x17" AFS. Grand Sport wheels. With worn Kumho V700's .. I need some road tires, these are my race wheels. But I am leaving California. In my Vette. A cooler and some clothes. Route66. I just lost my mom, so no reason to stay. Just need the best option tire for a long road trip.' 315"x17"x11 wheel .. Probably FLA. Say hi if I am driving your way. I could use a friend right now. XRecon .. Sorry double post.

There are some good buys on Ebay with free shipping. Last year I got some from a place called East Coast Tire (I think). They were only rated H instead of V but I won't ever get into the 150mph range. The brand was Aurora.
Sorry to hear of your loss. You will see her again in the hereafter and she will be watching over you the rest of your life.
Drive safe brother.

Thank you for your thoughts. I have been playing and building my Corvette for 15 years. I will race it with any car in the 'World' it is only an old C4. My race tires are done. I have been through lots of race tires. I need tires that will take me cross/country .. Thanks, Best_Chris'
