Best Tires for the Chevrolet Corvette

I have had these tires on my ~575rwhp supercharged Corvette for a couple years and they perform very well. The car has a positive displacement supercharger so the boost delivery is instant and when the tires are warm they don't spin above 40mph even when stabbing the throttle. These tires have been nice for weekend cruising as well as spirited driving including Powercruise at BIR. Perform excellent in the wet, much more comfortable than run flats, and are quiet enough that I can't hear them over my exhaust. Very satisfied with the ECS 02

I have OEM Michelin Run Flats Sport Cup 4S on my Corvette C8. Regular driving these are fine. They are DANGEROUS for track use though. These tires are UNSAFE and have batch defects in my opinion and people should be informed before someone gets hurt. I followed Chevrolet's track prep guide for the car (that says this tire can be sued on track). I have been on tracks for 15 years and have never had tires delaminate like these and fall apart after 1 session of a track day. I called Michelin and there customer service tech said it wasn't a defect or covered. He pretty much said it was my fault and never even made the time to look at the images I had. Michelin did not stand behind their product. I will NEVER buy a Michelin tire again. Sad.

I purchased the Conti Forces in 295/30/18 and 315/30/18 for autocross and track use on my 2017 Z06. This summer I ran eight autocross events and about 1500 road miles on the tires and I've been pleasantly surprised by the life they're providing. Should easily be able to get through next year's track season on the same set. As a 200TW track focused tires, the dry grip is tremendous as expected. Wet grip... exists, but they definitely don't inspire much confidence in the rain at any speed. They are rather loud on anything other than a pristine surface, but that's to be expected. I'll probably try another set when these are worn out, hopefully someone has the 345s in stock at that point.

2 Track days later, they still had plenty of life left. The grip doesnt go down with each lap, Fairly comfortable and no noise on street driving. High confidence in turns and really good braking feedback. I compared these back to back with my M2C on Ad08r and these had better cornering capabilities.

I am limited as to what tires I can buy due to size. These tires replaced my ancient BFG KD ( not KDws) and They feel a little less secure in handling, but considering what I have to choose from, they are great.

Such an upgrade from the stock c8 tires and agreed with others “ they just kill the sport 2 on the track . Very predictable when heated .

these tires are so much better than my previous michelins as they have stiffer sidewalls that don't squirm during sprited corneing.

The Continental ExtremeContact Sports are a great tire if you want something that will give you about great road feel, highway drive ability, and wear that won't cause you to look twice and the manufacture date code. I should note that I do not do track driving, just long distance drives and canyon carving. Its a great tire that holds its own to the MPSS without the cost. I am not an expert driver, so most things I have thrown at these tires have been shrugged off. Even at the limit, the tires break gradually and allowed me to keep the car under control. I have had my current set of tires for just under 2 years now and I am going to need replacements soon (5k miles /year). Even though there is actually a decent amount of tread left, it looks like the rubber might be near the end of its number of heat cycles. I did not think I would get to this point with a summer tire that can do some rain driving as well, so I am def pleased with them. Are there better tires out there? Of course, but for a tire that's going to be used for off track driving, its a fantastic choice if you don't want to drop the cash for some Michelins (especially if you know you aren't really going to max them out anyways).

Dry Grip was great, not the same can be said about the wet. Road feedback is excellent and the tires just get better as they heat up. Comfort is superb, can maybe improve slightly on the noise level. Al in all a great tire that adds more confidence to amateur drivers going fast.

I replaced good years on my corvette with the potenzas. I have had no problems with them and they are not as noisy as the good years. Maybe the bridgestones are not suited to rough roads...I don't drive on rough roads so I can't help there.
