c5 tire replacement
Need to replace tires on my c5. What recommendations do forum members have run flat or non run flat and what brand? I was looking at nitto, yokos, michelin and I believe falcos.

Although tires are tires, you may want to post this in the C5 forum, section. I will say that when I had my 5, I had non-run flats by Falken and they were great tires. I put 20k miles on them and they stil looked good.

Michelin makes very good tires in both runflats and non-runflats, but they tend to be a bit on the expensive side.
I currently run the Hankook Ventus V12 EVOs on mine and love them. Good handling, low road noise, very good traction. And best of all, you can get a set of four in stock sizes for around $600-650 shipped to your door.

What are the largest size tires i can put on a C5? I recently purchased some used Z06 wheels but was unaware that the wheels were wider than the stock wheels. So the rear is 10.5 inches and the front is 9.5 inches. What size tires can i put on these wheels and not have any rubbing issues? I appreciate any help, i am new to this and may be going about this all wrong so i apologize in advance. Thanksl.

So with those tire sizes the edge of the wheels will be flush with the tires (tires won't be hanging over the edge or the tires won't be so narrow that they are not even with the edge of the wheel)? Thanks for your help.

The DW tire gets 8.6 out of 10 buyer reviews and DWS got 8.3
