Tire Options
I'm about to upgrade to Z06 size rims on my 2001 Coupe, but I'm having trouble finding a front/rear package. Some companies make fronts, but not back or vise-versa. Can anyone give me some ideas?

OEM are Good Year F1's......many folks go with Kumho or Toyo.....be advised, I saw a post earlier today that Kumho is having a recall...
I just put the Michelin Pilot Sports on and love 'em.......except for the $$ :eek: .......much better tire on wet pavement

Re: Tire Options (NavyC5)
I don't believe you have to go with the exact tire dimensions that are OEM. You can go 5 or 10 mm wider. Do a search in the forum, I have seen other posts regarding this issue.
But, don't take my word for it. Ask around.
Good luck.

I was looking at this wheel and tire package from Corvette Garage for my 02.
Front 19x10 (275/30/19), Rear 19x11 (295/35/19) With Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
:steering: :cheers: :steering:

Thanks for all the info guys :cheers: I think I've made up my mind on the tires. Now all I need to do is find chrome valve stems and lugnuts :lol:
