Default Looking to get new tires for my C6 give me some info on what to get

Just as it says in the title I need to get new tires and have been looking at Nitto Invo's and BFG KDW's. Let me know good or bad or do you have a pesonal preference for your vette? I want something that has a little better traction than the stock run flats. Let me know.

Super Swamper Boogers have better traction on vettes than the original run flat tires...

I like Michelin Pilots but they are a bit costly.... Get a tire that serves your purpose, don't get anything too aggressive or you will be buying tires every 5k miles... Something with a 300+ tread wear for a daily driver, if its just a weekend / track car, go with whatever

IIRC, Evilways dropped about .1 off his 60' with the Michelin PS2. send him a PM if he doesn't jump in here.

if you're not worried about tire wear then PS2's are the way to go. I've heard good things about the Kumho Ecsta SPT's if you're looking for a bargain tire and if you're looking at RFT's then the Firestone's are cheaper and better (in the opinion of many) then the stock GY RFT's.
