Cheap tire source
Hey gang,
Just thought i'd pass this on, as i remember a thread a while back looking for cheap-ish tires.
www.edgeracing.com has Hankook Ventus (treadwear 340) for $81 in 275/40/17 size. Didn't check the front tire size, but $81 is killer. Cheapest i've seen before that was Sumitomos at $120 or so...
You have to search by size, as the Corvette isn't listed in their model search.
later,
Mike k.

Though you will probably not drive 149 mph, H rated tires do not meet the OEM specs.
Just saying so your decision is based on more than just the price.
