You're right. If I can get good wet performance without sacrificing any dry performance then of course I would choose that tire.

It looks like the Yokohama had very good dry performance. Has anyone used these?

BTW, you can download the test from the TireRack website: http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires...y_f1_gs_ds.pdf

I had yokos before I got the bf goodrich tires. It's not even close, my yokos would break free very easily on dry pavement. I tried doing some hard launches with my bf goodrich tires and could barely make them break free.

I recently (about 3 months ago) bought some Sumitomo HTR Z II tires. They grip much better than the stock Goodyeaer Eagle F1 GS EMT tires that were on it before. They are also 1/3 of the price. Not sure if they are better than others mentioned, but not bad for the price.

I am in the minority when it comes to tires for the Corvette. I am more leery of running my Vette on anything other than OEM rubber. However, when/if I make a change away from OEMs, you can't beat GY GS-D3s.

RE: What is best brand of tires for Vette?
 

I agree. If you want the very best, nothing beats the GSD3s.

If people hate the "Run Flats" so much, why do you think Chevy keeps them as standard equipment on Corvettes?

If youraceor go through tires fast, Kumho'sare budget minded and perform well.

RE: What is best brand of tires for Vette?
 

That is a very good question.

My take on run flats is that in a car with no spare, no jack, no lug wrench, etc.

IMHO, OEMs don't ride harsh. No annoying road noise to me.

Run flats=security/safety
Non run flats =softer ride a little more performance

To each his/her own.
