Default Re760

I did the Bridgestone RE760 due to the performance and price value, with knock off C6 Z06 wheels and I LOVE them! I've never tracked them but for driving hard on the street they are awesome!! A lot of tire for not very much money I think..

Its looking like thats the route I'm going to take, what sizes did you go with? So far the 275/40/17 and 295/35/18 is what I'm thinking. My 98 C5 convertible is black and the ZO6 rims are grey, currently have BBS Le Mans rims on the car that it came with some folkks seem to really like them but I'm not one of them, too euroish (is that a word) or something.

I have NT05 tires as well with about 6K on them. There's about 40% tread life left. However, mine is a weekend driver with some spirited driving on them. I have been very pleased with them.
