New Tires
Just got my new tires mounted and balanced. We got Michelin Pilots PS2's and for price I could have bought a nice used car. Oh well the price of owing a Corvette. Really like the tires though. This months Car and Drives had a good article on performance tires and worth reading. By the way the PS2's were rated 4th overall. Would have been higher but price was one of tha rating factors.

Nothing like a new set of tires to make the car feel right again. I'll be buying a set soon too.

I'm considering PS2's for when my new wheels arrive. I'll be curious to hear your review of the tires....

I looked into getting the "Goodyears" that were rated tops but was unable to get a matching tire tread for the rear (larger) tires.... but I wouldn't have purchased them anyhow... they were $550 EACH + INSTALLATION. (Maybe I could have shopped around, but still !!!!)

I also have the PS2's. They are great tires and a vast improvement over the stock Z06 tires. The only negative is that they weren't much cheaper than the new wheels I put them on, CCW Classics.

New Tires For Me!
I just bought Michelin Pilot Sports (runflats) for my 2002 coupe (Bought new wheels, too). The car is fun to drive again. I was running the original Goodyears and I felt like I was driving Barny Rubbles car. After a half hour of driving I had to get out of the car. Now, it's a pleasure to drive.

Definately good choice on tires. You could have bought an decent LT1 F-body with brand new tires on it and driven the tires bald for what you prolly spent on those Pilots though. lol But there is just no denying the quality. I just hope i can afford something near as good when i get to the wear bars on my Goodyear F1's
