Street comps on my C5
Bought an OEM size set of 4 (2 -245/45/17 & 2-275/40/18) from Jegs in early October just before Corvette Weekend OC Maryland. I had a set of worn out F-1's on car.
Jegs delivered only 3 tires, 1 correct front, 1 correct rear and a 20". Got on the phone with them, they were very co-operative and did everything they needed to do to get me all the correct tires on time for the event.
When I first put them on, they seemed to understeer a little but as they broke in, that went away. Now these tires sure to seem to bite the road real well. They are smooth, quiet and have excellent straight line traction as well as bite in the curves, corners and turns. The only time they break loose is if I corner too hard with heavy acceleration OR if I turn traction control off and purposely make them light off. I can't comment on wet running, I only drive my C5 on dry roads
They cost a little less than $800 for the set of 4 from Jegs and another $150 to have put on the car. For my money, they are TOP NOTCH, I give them a 9 to 9.5 out of 10. I highly reccomend them and plan to get wider ones for the back if/when they become available.
