Default Tires 1994 conv

Any for/against on Continental or Nitto brand. Present GY Eagle F1's have good tread but flat spots on rears/noisy. Orig. 0wner put on 1000 miles a year. (22500 miles now) I will only put on 2-3 thousand a year just cruising. Don't want to spend big bucks-just a little less road noise. 255 front, 285 rears are std.

I have the Nitto 555s on my '95 and they are an awesome tire for the price. Handling, ride, noise and wet roads. They look great on the C4.

I have Nittos on my 85 275 x 40 on ZR 1 wheels on front and 315x35 on rear
They ride nice, quiet, handle well, and not expensive.

I have the Continental Extreme Contact's and I'm quite happy with them. Low noise and handle very, very well in the rain. These handle better in the rain than my run flats did in the dry. Tire Rack has a complete set for $660.00.
