Default Tires!!!

Well its that time again to buy tires!
Im looking at 275/35/18 rears

275 cause they are cheaper
looking for a tire that lasts a long time, performance isn't my goal really as money is tight hence the 275.

What brands are you guys running and what would you recommend? also best place to buy them too helps!

My car is a driver! 150k and going strong

thanks guys

Here's a matched set of Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports for the stock C5 Z06 rim sizes. About as cheap as you're gonna find high performance tires in these sizes.
