Yup, that was the price out the door of all 4 installed at discount tire (special order). Including disposal fees, taxes, etc. Stock tire size.

Tires are like oil, if someone has had good experience with a brand, they usually stick with the same.
I loved Firestone Firehawks on my C4, so I have a positive view of them trying another set.
Big issue with a Coupe is noise. I just read some good reviews on the Hankook Ventus V12 EVOs Jack posted.

Just installed the Firehawk Indy 500s last weekend and love them. Got rid of 10 year old Pilot sports. Total price was $652 after the mail in rebate, which seemed surprisingly cheap to me. I always figured tires were going to be one of the most expensive parts of owning a corvette due to the wide rears and staggered setup.

Dang, what size tires are on your car? The 255/35/18 and 305/30/20 555 G2's on my 70 El Camino restomod were around $725/set at my local Discount Tire, early last year.
