Tires Continental or Kumho
I know it’s controversial to put all seasons on a Corvette, but my god are they fantastic. Unless you drive exclusively on the track, you’ll love these. I live in a state where a sunshine and 80+ degree days are limited, and potholes are plentiful. I swapped out the OEM run flats with these and it made a world of difference.
If you drive your Vette regularly, I cannot recommend the Continental DWS06 tires enough
I just got the Continental DWS06 Plus in 235/40R18 for my stock MK7 and I've been happy with them.
Continental all the way. Their soft compound is objectively grippier than the MaxxGrip compound. And their super soft is wizard demon magic that grips like no ones buisness but is suprisingly long wearing.
It seems the Kumho scores higher in wet conditions, while the dry performance is quite similar to the Toyo.
HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.
Conti Sport Contact Force tires. The absolute best summer tire. The testers are right, it's almost telepathic. 40 mpg on long trips.
Switched over to Continental ExtremeContact on all my other cars and noticed they feel good all the way to the bald spot. I’ve recently switched our MYLR to Continental and it feels great. Quieter, feels softer, and more confident in corners with the same PSI.
I had them on a car. Rode nice and quiet. Great rain traction. belt did end up breaking in one tire causing a tumor and another was starting to fail after 6 years.
One of my Continentals lost pressure suddenly and rapidly driving down the interstate last week. I've never gotten a decent lifespan from Continental or been happy with their performance.
