Coolest looking tires on C5
I really like my Michelins however.
What do you think are the coolest looking tires on a C5 or C6.
I love seeing the blue label Michelins on the C6R race cars but how lame would that look on a daily driven street car, should Michelin make these?
I am beginning to think the Nitto Invo tires look the coolest, tread wise anyway
show pics if you want

I personally think Michelin PS2 are the best looking & best performance tire around. I have PS2's on two of my Cars. They have the biggest Rim protectors and look the widest. They actually sticks out 1/8 inch past the rim to help protect you against snake bites, curbs and you're own stupidity. You can see it best on this picture. Look under the bill and you can see the extra rubber added to protect you $$$ rims.

The rim protectors aren't quite as pronounced on the Invo's, like they are on the PS2s. Or at least the last set of Invos I had. I liked the Invos a lot though. The treads looked great and it being a non direction tire, you can rotate sides to help them last longer. I just Personally like the look of the PS2's better.

I like the looks of my Michelins (my '99), but I think I like the pattern and profile of the Nitto's on Wifey's '01 a little more.

I can truly say that wherever I go, whatever car meet I am at, whatever cruise I go on...the most common thing I get is...what tires are those. Even when it's parked in my shop people are always asking. Who knows? I've been around racecars and sports cars for years as a builder....they don't strike me like they do other people but....apparently something is always getting their attention.
