Yup, another tire question...
Ok, so I've read the older emails on tires.. Well I just picked up a 99 and drove it back from Flint to NY... Very nice ride, but the car does need some new shoes.. The issue is that everything I've read is for "summer" tires and not all season types... So because this is my DD and we do get snow here in NY, what are some suggestions.... I will NOT be driving in snow, but everything else will be fair game...
Thoughts??
Thanks,
/joe
ps: Also will be replacing the cheap sheet bottom foam.. what garbage...

Tires are always subjective and a zillion different opinions.......I do have a nice set of OEM Goodyear Runflats available if you'd have any interest... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...36&postcount=2

Goodyear makes a M+S tire for the C5. But, if you are not going to be driving in the snow, consider the Goodyear GS-D3 or Firestone Wide Oval tires.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season (A/S) Zero Pressure (Z/P) tires. do a search on the Forum. Quieter, better riding, more traction (dry or wet), longer lasting and better handling. You'll never look back.
