I'm running B.F. Goodrich G Force T/A...very happy with tread wear, stickyness and streetability. Leaves a nice mark when you lay down some rubber. So I've heard

When I got my Vette it had newish Goodyear GSCs (run flats)....I'm not a fan of any run flat because of the stiff sidewall and hard ride. I wanted ZR-1 style wheels...found a super package deal on line which came w/Nexen tires ( I couldn't pass on the price 'cause they were cheaper then most wheel sets w/out tires)....the Nexens over all ride is much better and they are quiet (so far)---BUT they flat spot after sitting over night...were a PITA to get in balance and lousy traction. I knew they were a cheap tire when I bought the wheel /tire combo (I love the wheels though 
)... When it comes time to replace them...I won't be buying Nexens again. They'll likely be replaced long before they NEED to be replaced.

As "jimmymack" said I've heard and read good things about the BF Goodrich G Force on these cars and that's one of the brands I'll be considering when the Nexens get replaced.

I just switched to the Goodrich G Force Sport and really like them. Not only do they handle well, but I caught a great deal through Sears of all places. They beat the discount and online dealers by several dollars, and included installation. I'm lucky because the Sears where I live has a tech who has rebuilt several vettes and is the reason I was comfortable getting the work done there. But I would reccomend the Gforce tires....
