Did you think maybe people would need more information before giving you recommendations?What size are you looking for?
What is the main use for these tires? Street? Track? Autocross? What weather conditions?
What is your budget?

Just fit a second set of wheels with Ohtsu tires. Did a 18,19 setup on C6 wheels but couldn’t see spending $1200 on summer tires for 2 months driving Researched the Ohtsus that are made by Falken. Plenty of good reviews and have been around a while -previously under Falken label. Fronts were $88 apiece Rears were $125 apiece. Not bad tires for cruising and some even track them. Not a popular brand but not a no-name.

Seriously - more info is needed if you really want a recommendation.
Base, Z06 or aftermarket wheels? Not all tires are available in all sizes... so this does kind of matter.
Do you need all-season or no?
Do you care about run-flat?
All street or occasional track day?
Do you have a budget?

Cathy, I don't believe anyone is trying to be "snarky." But please consider how generic, or vague your question was. More information is needed to provide any semblance of a beneficial answer. As an Interior Designer, consider for a moment if you were asked, "What should I do to improve the style of my home?" Your response probably is along the lines of; What type of home do you have? What image do you wish to present? What styles interest you? What is you budget? Et cetera.
Your Corvette Fam wants to help, but need a little more info.

You know it is 2020 when someone actually gets triggered when other people just ask them for more information. LOL

Tone is often lost in text.
My questions were by no means meant to insult in any way. They are legitimate things that need be known if you want a recommendation that will benefit you, as reiterated by a couple of people already.
Call up Tire Rack or go to your local tire dealer - they will ask you the same things but they will probably just recommend what they have in stock so they can make the sale.
