Tires for daily driver
Just curious what everyone is using for the daily driver or weekend joy rides for tires. I will never track or race the car just a good cruise and date car with the occasional heavy foot moment lol

Retired & lovin' it!
Continental Extreme Contact Sport.....great tire. Can also recommend Nitto Invo which were my previous tires. Switched to the Conti's just to try something different.

Gotcha. I am going to look them up if you could say what brand or tire was quiet and smooth. It’s a date car for me and the wife

I went with BFG's last time. Seem to work well.
It's funny, if you visit forums for different cars, you get different opinions on what's the best brand.
I think you can comfortably pick from 5 or 6 major brands depending on what's available and price.

I don’t DD my Vette. However, my car came with new rubber Michelin AS3 all season tires. My C6 is modded headers, small cam, Callaway Honker Intake, Borla stingers with a 6 speed manual. My car hooks very well and very impressed with tire performance, handling and tire pattern and wear.
Note, I also have a C63 AMG for my DD and run DW Continental Summer tires and AS3 impressed me.

I just ordered my second set of Hankook Evo 2. The first set lasted 23,000 miles. They are not run flats but I carry a small compressor and a plug kit(also a can of Fix a Flat).

Michelin Pilot Sports. Best tire for the street. For less money, I like the Firestone Firehawks, Sumitomo, Continental.

Gokng to do a little comparison. Like I said I will never hit the drag stop. Just the occasional playing on the strip other than that more cruise and weekend drives
