Instead of getting cheap new tires.

Go on ebay and get some good slightly used tires. Youll spend just as much but end up with much better tires.

None of the really cheap tires come in sizes for both front and rear of a C5 ZO6. At Tirerack.com the best bets are the KUMHO ECSTA MX at a little under $700 for all four and the Firestone Fire hawk WideOval at around $720. These are both pretty good tires but not as good as the original Goodyear F1 Supercars or the Michelin PilotSport PS2 which are $1280 to $1350.

I just put a set of Toyos on the front as I had an alignment issue and wore out my left front. I plan on upgrading wheels so I just went with 275 x 17 proxe 4s. They are a little aggressive looking but seem to be okay and are not expensive.
