Default Tires

Just bought a 2017 Grand Sport. It came with 2 sets of Michelin run flats and a set of Toyos.

My question is...what are your opinions for a softer ride...Michelin’s, Toyo or has anyone tried the Bridgestone Potenza run flats?

Not really needing any right now, just looking towards the future!

this is my first Corvette, so any info is appreciated!!

I believe softer ride will require non-run flat tires.

I guess what I am looking for is a run flat tire, but out of all of them available...the one that may give the best ride along with the performance!

If you aren't already driving in Tour mode, try that first. Also, if that is not soft enough then spend the $350 to have the dealer flash the MSRC performance update. It makes Tour mode even softer.
