Default Replacement tires

I've just been informed that I need a new set of tires for my C6 Z51.
IT seems there aren't any rears for the f1 supercar tires anywhere. Also, no fronts for the regular emt's.
My question is what would be the recommendation of the forum for other brands of tires. I'm very open on opinion, as goodyear won't be delivering product till July. Thank you.

you can get some good used ones, in the for sale section, to tide you over until you can get all four of something. i'm getting some used sc front tires installed today for this same reason.

Just put on Firestone Runflats from tirerack.com. Really like the ride. All 4 was $999.00.

I ordered a set of the Firestones two weeks ago at my Firestone dealer. The rears came in, waiting for the fronts - they are backordered. All four were less than $1000, plus mounting, balancing and an alignment.

I recommend Michelin PS2s. That is what I have on my C5 and I love them. If they are good enough for the new ZR1, they're good enough for me.
