I run Kumho ASX, because they are a cold weather tire. I am putting on new front tires today. I guess they are OK for the price verses the performance. I get around 20K. Installed, 2 front tires will be about 300. Way better than the OEM tires.

It is a Corvette and I wanted an appropriate tire with the added insurance of an all weather runflat. Just my humble opinion.
Just put a pair on the rear of the C5 at Discount Tire Co.

I just went thru this dilemma myself!!!

I can tell you this...ANYTHING is gonna be an improvement over the run-craps.

I ended up with the Toyo T1-R...

Cost me 975 mounted and balanced locally and the difference is AMAZING.
