My Corvette(s):
2006 C6 V Yellow
Default New tires for 06, C6 coupe

Wondering what kind of tires you all out there have found for 06, C6's, should I stay with the factory or do any of you have other suggestions. I live on the west coast so I do drive in some rainey conditions, but mostly dry roads, and I do not track the car. Mostly touring and fooling around on mountain roads in the s turns. Any help would be much appreciated.

PS: would like to stay with r/flats if possible!

You might check out the Kumho run flats and the Firestone Wide Ovals. I still have the OEM Goodyears on my C5.
