Default Watch Cooper Tire Torture Some Rubber With a C7 Corvette Z06



This quick vid features plenty of sideways action, lots of smoke, some hard launches, and of course, footage of that lovely Corvette Z06.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

The wheel offsets look horrible... Did they take the wheels off a stingray for this video?

That is an interesting way for a tire company to market itself: not showing what tires are on the car, and showing whatever tires on the car being woefully inadequate.

Indeed not stock size tires. Those tsw wheels look to be from a z51 sized wheel and tire.

Like watching someone else melt them down though.

Huge missed opportunity - The burn-out and drifting is all well and good, but where is the comparison to the stock Michelin's, demonstrating how close Copper tires are in wet and dry braking, acceleration and slalom??

Great tire and rim sizing for a tire company... What's up there? Going for more of a Hellcat profile for the car are we?

Im currently running these tires on my C5Z06. While they are good for the money, they won't hold a candle to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports, much less the Cup2 for that matter performance wise. That's probably why you didn't see a comparison.
