I know it's not too popular to put japan tires on a Vette,but on my budget all I could afford were Kumho 720's.$80 apiece is not bad for a Z rated tire.Besides after I get it back on the road I don't think their gona last very long.I'll put some BFG's on there next time.

Kumho sounds more Korean than Japanese, but I never checked.
For driving in the snow, stay away from 315's, anything more than 5" and you can't hardly drive.

although i'm not a fan of all-season tires, i've seen others recommend the BFG KDWS for all-year driving. as for me, i'm running Goodyear GS-D3's in the summer, and last winter i got Dunlop Winter Sport M3's. due to differences in the rubber compound, even all-season tires will not perform nearly as well as proper winter tires in the cold - wet or dry.
