I'm struggling to find tires here in England but I can pick up some Toyos at a reasonable price. From what I've read they perform well although they maybe don't last as long as the Michelins I have on.
Must admit though, I'd miss the security of the runflats.

installed them on my girlfriends (yellowvette837) 02 almost 3 years ago...still doing well but getting down to the end of their treadlife..I am sure she will chime in later with mileage but I can tell you outside of my KDWs they are the best tires we have had on our C5's...I honestly think you cannot go wrong with this purchase

They have 31,500 miles on them and have been great tires
. They are great in the rain too. I will say these are the best tires I have had on my vette (93,500 miles)

I replaced the original tires on my '03 Z06 with the Toyo T1's and I really liked them. Great in the rain here in S. Florida and quiet. After they wore out last year I got the Firestone Wide Oval's after reading the good writeups about them. Seem as good and quiet as Toyo's and the prices are very good. They also come with 10/32 tread vs. 8/32 for Toyo's and original tire. Hope this helps.

Have T1S's (previous edition to T1R) on my 2000 Coupe, 280 tread wear.
After 8yrs and 15,000 miles about 60% tread left. I have autocrossed these about 6 times and 3 or 4 drag strip events.Good comp tire.
Car seldom runs in the wet , but overall, I like them very much and the price was very good. 295/18 rr and 265/18 frt.
