Default Excited about new street and track tires

My 2013 base C6 came with the Goodyears and I just couldn't take the terrible noise from them any more. I replaced them with Bridgestone RE960AS Pole Position RFTs and can't believe how quiet they are and how quiet a Corvette can be with good tires and NPP exhaust while cruising. I am now hearing pleasant mechanical sounds from the car not tire whine. I live in the northeast and will drive in cold weather if the roads are clear so I went with all season tires.
I also use my car on race tracks and am excited Nitto NTO1s now come in the OEM sizes for C6s so I can use them on extra sets of used OEM wheels which are real cheap.
It's a good day for Corvettes and tires around here this week.

Best performance mod you can make to this car is ditch the OEM tires.

Even GM finally switched to Michelins with the C7.
