I recently upgraded the rubber on the vette last year and with so many choices out there it was
hard for me to figure out which one to choose.
Maybe this post will help people with their choice since spring is coming very fast and I am sure
there will be a few of us that are in the need of some new skins for the car come summer.
Here are a few question that might help you in making your final decision.
1. What tires do you currently have on your car?
2. What size are the Fronts and the Rears?
3. What price did you pay approx. and where did you purchase them? (no links)
4. Did you have any install or clearance/rubbing issues?
5. How do the tires hookup and corner?
6. Would you buy that make again?
7. What did you previously have on your car and did you like them and why?
8. If you have a couple of photos post them up.
I will answer first to see if we can start this off and create a bit of a knowledge base for everyone.
1. Nitto NT05's
2. Front: 255-40-17's, Rear: 295-35-18's
3. $950 from Discount Tire Direct.
4. No Issues.
5. Fastastic on Hookup and cornering, A+
6. Yes.
7. Firestone SZ50EP run flats, No, hard ride, bad traction.
