Hi all!

Look at tirerack.com

just a thought here to consider. if you are going to get a performance tire only it may give you a harder ride than a passenger tire will.

i have used both goodrich and sumitimo. both gave a good  ride and lasted . i still have the sumitimo on now. have had them on for 3 years, like you i dont drive in the rain or snow. good luck

I put about 20,000 a year on mine, commuting daily, so I wanted a more realistic, longer-lasting compound, so I went with Custom "Sport XT" and got 4 mounted for $508 at a Tire Pros store.  If you're going to do high-speed curving, you'd probably want the softer, racier Goodyear, Firestone, Michelin, or Yokohama, for about twice that.  If you don't drive it much and want it to look good in the shows, the performance names look better, too.  There are lots of good choices out there at most of the big tire chains.  (Regardless, it's so fun being able to drive a Vette, no matter what kind of sneakers it runs on....)

   I've always used Goodyear... ZR, GSC, and more recently the F1-GS and the all weather version. Both worked very well and relatively quiet. I've heard good things about the Michelins (cheaper) and the Continental Extreme Contact (much cheaper, but highly rated).  I agree with checking TireRack.com and reading the specs, ratings and reviews. You'll find the ones you want...

just a suggestion here. a lot of people talk about tire rack and yes they do have some good deals. my advice is check all your local tire dealers first. i just got tires for the 90. went to tire rack and it seemed to be good prices. checked on one of the places they send them to install them and for about another $50.00 got better tires (in my opinion). the tread guarantee was 60,000 instead of 30,000. when i figured the price, i didn't even figure in shipping. with the shop i went with got the extended warranty (which i would have had to pay for at tire rack anyway) and i get lifetime tire rotation and balancing which i would not have gotten if i had tire rack send them.

really got to check and actually see if you are saving that much. only way to save a lot is if you could mount and balance them yourself or if you needed just one tire. of course everything i stated is my opinion.

Dave makes some good points about Tirerack. Last year I bought 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS's from a local Goodyear tire shop. I did my home work 1st and knew the prices from Tirerack and Sears. The dealer initially quoted me $1,400 out the door and I countered with the Tirerack price of around $780. They had to check with some regional manager dude and called me back the next morning and we agreed on a price close to $900 out the door.

My biggest reason for sticking with the Goodyear brand is they are made in the USA

If you're still looking -- I have Falken Ziex ZE-912 tires on my 95.  I like them and have had no issues with them.  I also looked at Tirerack but actually got a better deal locally.  Of course it doesn't hurt that I buy all my tires, and have been doing business with, the same tire store for over 20 years!

Hi everyone!
I have a 87 C4 w/ 27400 original miles. It also has the DN 4+3 and the Z51 package.
here is my HUGE(!!) problem; no one makes tires for it!! And, no, I'm not exaggerating!
I have hit every tire site online, as well as all of the dealers around me. I get the same statement from them all: "All we can find is a BF Goodrich g-Force Sport and there are none available for at least 6 months."
So, would someone explain the logic behind this?
OEM is Goodyear Eagle VR50 P255/50/VR 16.
Thanks for ANY ideas!
Bob
