Time for new tires

[dannyboy]

The Goodyears on my '92 convertible are still in great shape however, they will be eight years old in the spring.
Does anyone have any experience with Cooper Zeon RS3-G1? They are a three season tire which is more suitable to my winter-stored baby.

I just bought my 1989 C4 convertible on August 11, and it came with brand new summer tires: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. I am very happy with them and their wet and dry performance (although they won't get much experience in wet conditions) No need for three or four season features for my driving, and probably for most Corvette owners in Ontario.

I recently installed Continental Extreme Contact Sports on my C5.
I just put Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ tires on my ‘03 Monte Carlo SS.
The DWS06+ tires have a better ’wet’ rating.
great tires, great pricing.

Check out Blackcircles.ca for BF Goodrich tires. Great guys to work with and very reasonable.

I agree that BlackCircles is a great source for tires. I used them to buy new Michelin Pilot sport A/S tires to replace the run-flats on my BMW Z4 roadster. They shipped them to an installer of my choice near my home, and all went smoothly and at qood pricing too.

Good to know!
Thank you.

I am on a second set of Nitto on my 93. Very happy with them and they come in 315 for the rear on my 11” grand sport reps.
After putting 11” on the rear the stock look is a bit wimpy for my taste.

Man, what sizes are y'all running? I think I scored the last set of stock size BFGoodrich they make, so I'll need to keep it in mind for a year or two down the road

@dannyboy did you end up going with the Cooper Zeons? If so how do you like them?

Also unable to find any 255/50R16 BFGooderich Sport Comp-2s in stock, so looking at 245/50R16 Cooper Zeons. I would really like to stick with the factory size, but seems the choice may no longer exist unless you go for race tires.

I ended up buying Nitto 555 S2 since the supplier couldn't commit to a dependable delivery date.
They are mounted and ready to bolted onto the car (in March).
I can't wait to drive 'em!
