I just ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S runflats for $1088 with free shipping from Discount Tire Direct. I also ordered a set of tire pressure sensors(mine are a little over 9 years old, so I'm replacing them while the tires are being mounted) from GMpartsHouse.com and a local shop that sells and installs aftermarket wheels here in town will mount and balance for $80.00. I checked with a local dealer and the same four tires, mounted and balanced was quoted at $1621, and that didn't include the TPS'.

Price is going to depend on the size, manufacturer, runflat or not, etc.
You can get some stock non-runflats (Firestone Wide Ovals for example) for $650 a set while a set of Michelin Pilot Sports will run you close to $1400.

too open ended of a question. lots of variables involved here.
bang for the buck the Firestones are pretty good tire and there is a thread running right now for $649 for a set. thats a very good price for a pretty darn good set of rubber. especially if you drive in the rain, these tires are suprisingly good in the wet weather

I paid 700 for my rear tires but they are mounted on a 20" wheel.
I would say look into kuhmo mx tires. They are pretty cheap and they are great for the street.
Dont let price of tires sway you from getting a corvette. You can open the car out often, dont do any burnouts or hard first to second shifts and your tires will last a long time.
