Default C5 Tires

Any suggestions on tires for ride and quietness, not looking for speed and handling. Thanks

I am on my 3rd set of Nitto 555s. Been getting around 40-50K per set, quiet with a nice ride, decent grip, do pretty good in the rain. Reasonably priced as well.

Call Andrew Wood at Tread Depot (forum sponsor ) Toyo makes a nice tire for your car and very reasonable too.

Ron where did you get your tires, 40-50 K is great on any car must less a vette. I have looked on tire rack and some other sites and they run around 180.00. Does that sound about right. Thanks

I ordered mine thru Discount. I would have to look, but I think I was around $800 for the set. I bought the fronts and then the rears a few months later.
