I have Bridgestone Potenza S-03 and liked them[20,000 miles on rear and 27,000 miles on front]. I am now using Goodyear Formula 1 DS-3's and like them better.

Many opinions on tires. I have 18's frt(265/35) & rr(295/35) . Toyo T1S Proxes. Good grip & reasonable price at Belle Tire. Also have 400 RWHP.

After riding in Marios Vert with GS-d3's I am sold. Far quieter, better handling, and a sweet tread pattern that looks great standing still. Tirerack.com has the best pricing.

Re: REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR MY C5 (CSDMagRed01)
I don't have 400 RWHP (Wish I did) but went to Goodyear F1 Supercars and like them alot. Much better than EMT's
Don't forget to get an emergency tire inflation kit. :p:
