Tires

I hate my runflat tires that came on my car. I have a 2008 by the way.

What tires is everyoen using from the BEST runflat tire to the BEST non run flat tire.

Thanks for the replies and again, I can't wait to get new shows already. I just want some experience from the people out there.

Thanks,

Joe

I replaced my Goodyear run-flats with BF Goodrich KDW II non run-flats. A little more road noise but they handle better in both the wet and dry.

Opinions vary alot on this... The traction you get is very sensitive to temperature of surface and tire. I am learning that it is even more sensitive than I thought. I dont know what specifically you hate about your current tires, but pay close attention to the effect of temp. before spending money. Even the best tires are subject to poor traction if the surface is poor or the temps are too low. Some performance tires are designed to have max grip at racetrack temps that you will not reach on the street...

Lots of good rubber out there though & you'll get many differing opinions.....good bet would be to check with your local Vette club.
