Firestone no longer makes tires for the C6. Went to http://www.firestonetire.com/tiresel...Model=Corvette Standard Rear
site and filled out for standard rear C6 Corvette tires and this was what I got:
We're sorry, we don't currently produce a tire that matches your vehicle's original equipment tire size, load range and speed rating combination.
Optional sizes may be available for your vehicle. Please consult your owner's manual and check with your retailer
to verify all tire recommendations before purchasing your tire(s)."

maybe Firestone doesn't know what it's doing (seeing as how it's not involved yet in the acceleration issues of various makes) 
.
go to tirerack. it knows. it says firestone funflats fit the corvette, both z51 and base.
then again, in non-funflat, they may not make tires for the Vette.

For some reason Firestone doesn't list the wide oval RFT on their website. I think I will be buying a set of these in the next 2 weeks if my wheels show up.

I paid $979 for all 4 Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval RFT, mounted, balanced (lifetime) & tax at the Firestone store in Fort Worth. But I had to ask specifically for this tire. Good luck 
These were for the wife's '06 vert.
