Need help choosing tires
I'm not happy with the performance of the run flats. Any suggestions on which tires to go with? I had Bridgestone Pole Positions on my C5 and was very happy with them. The car is never driven in the rain so I'm only concerned with getting the best grip for "spirited" driving.

If you have the money to blow buy the PS2s... If not, the BFG KDWs are the best value ($900ish) after that if you can deal with the tread pattern.
I have 4 new KDW2 tires in my garage that will be going on later today....

I have heard that FS is releasing their new Wide Oval (basically the Bridgestone RE-750) in Jan if you can wait. I had them on my 03 Z06 and loved them.

I've had Michelins, and liked them. But they have gotten awful proud of the new PS2s. I have the KDW's on my car now and really like them.
