Tire Decision-Help with 1st Set Please
Hi. Dont burn me but, yes another tire question. I have a C5 coupe with original runflats. Just received some beautiful chrome C6 rims from Bob @House of Wheels and I have been trying to make a decision on some new non-runflat tires. Fuzions are priced well but dont make a 275/40/18 for the rears Only 265/35/18.
Toyos look good but an extra 100. I didnt care for the look of the Kuhmo and nobody had anything good to say about Firestone Wide Ovals or Coopers. I'm leaning towards the Toyos. I cant afford G force or GYs...Any constructive suggestions would be appreciated ..Thanks to all.
Regards, Rick

I run the Toyo proxes, but I have the ZO6 wheels. The T1-S are great tires, they'll probally fit on your wheels. I use to run the Supercar tires when I had my OEM wheels. They were great performance tires but a little pricey.

Hey Rick,
have you ever seen the Kuhmos in person? They look really good to me. Received my set from Tirerack today and they looked even better than I was expecting. It's the number 2 top seller at tirerack for corvettes and the price can't be beat

The Kumho Ecsta MXs. I tried to link to the best sellers page but you'll have to go there and see for yourself:
