Almost Daily Drivers
Just got a 2001 coupe. Previous owner was original owner and drove the car on vacations to Cape Cod and Boston. Has 50k and second set of Goodyear F1's.
While not a daily Driver for me, I would like to drive it beyond just the above 50 degree temp days.
The tires have lots of tread left, but but are noisy and I believe summer tires.
Just curious, for those of you who drive your corvettes almost year round, what tires are you using? I see most discussions center around summer high performance tires.
reality is that I do not race my car, and would like a year round tire. Michelin seems to have a nice RF tire.

I put Michelins PS all season runflats on my daily driven 98 coupe after 3 years of running new GY runflats. It is simply a different (better) car. I never believed that tires could make such a difference.

Get a set of Michelin PS A/S runflats and you can enjoy the car all year long - within reason on the winter driving.
