C5 Tires
Who are running other than OEM brand and type tires on their C5?
I should have set this up as a poll

There have been a lot of debate on these tires as of late, I run Sumitomo's, I have had great results with these. Wet or dry.

the reason I started this thread is a forum member posted on another thread "most Vette owners stick with original rubber." I might be wrong but it seems a lot of owners choose another brand and or tire construction.

Goodyear GSD3s - best all-around tires you can buy. As an added bonus, independent tests indicate that they will last longer than just about any other super high performance tire. However, don't expect 30,000 miles out of any tires in this class, at least not if you drive somewhat aggressively!
