IMO! Cringe! 
Corvette's look funny driving in the snow.
Plus if it did snow and the roads are clear it should be still covered with gravel that is worse than the snow.
The other cars on the road paste the poor Corvette in the winter with gravel and maybe salt too!
Your nice new car will get 5-10 years of wear for every 1 winter of DD. Horrible on your car.
The recommendation is don't!
Instead get a nice truck to drive in the winter muck. Or even winter beater car with the snow tire money instead is better if you must.
I always buy light on the options that lose money so fast. Instead you get a free truck and Corvette instead.
Example In January 2015 A new 2015 was MSRP 1lz with comp seats.
Told myself stay near 80k as possible.
Where I could have spent 114k on a loaded car. Instead of the 30k in options
which in 2 years add little to nothing to resale.
Buy a new truck or slightly used for the same range you spent on options maybe a little more.
Winter miles take the price off the Corvette showing poor paint condition and other hints. Is a much more sound decision in my book!
To each his own!

When we traded it at 66k miles, both the outside and the underside looked like any other Midwest-driven Corvette with that many miles that was driven summer-only. We actually had more damage from road trash in summer than in winter. Go figure...

Looks I was around here for along time before you . A lot more Corvettes than you as well!
Maybe try taking some meds for your anger problem.
Now follow your own advice!

I'm not angered by random idiots on the internet. However, the op was asking what tires are available. Why are you here if you think a corvette can't be driven in the winter?

When even the Tire Rack says. HUH! When you say you want snow tires for your Corvette!
The Corvette is GM's flagship sports car designed as a sports car.
Not a 4 by4. You should make a doctor's appointment for your self!

My suggestion is Goodyear Ultra Winter. The tire has proven super capable, besides, I've seen it on police vehicles, I don't think they'd install some crap.
