Default vrenstien tires

I would personally replace all 4 titrs . regarding rreplacements I have a 98 it came with Vrenstiens. They r not cheap and not easy to get but great tires. Very quiet and stick to the road like glue can't beat them. Do yourself a favor and at least ck them out

Having these same tires (stock sizes though) put on next week. The guy at Tire Rack reported both good feedback from Vette owners and good performance from their own protocol of testing.

My local tire store matched TR's price within $40 but added an additional alignment to make up the difference.

This will be my 2nd set of Bridgestones (1st on my Grand Cherokee) and if these perform as well they won't be my last.
