Strictly use for cruising. Any info., research, or opinions. Appreciate any help!!! smokinvette 03-21-2007, 06:22 PM In need of new tires for my 2001 Corvette; considering Kumho regular or runflat. Strictly use for cruising. Any info., research, or opinions. Appreciate any help!!! You have a few different options that will work for you depending on what you want to spend. Kumho makes a good tire that is believe is a harder rubber compound than for example Good Years and Michelin tires. I would recommend going to www.tirerack.com (http://www.tirerack.com) to get excellent pricing on all sorts of different makes. tstar 03-21-2007, 09:35 PM I agree Tire Rack is a great resource. Alot of guys have been very happy with Goodyear GS D3s... FWIW I'll getting those when I burn my runcraps down far enough! JOHNK 03-22-2007, 09:24 AM A Friend Of Mine Purchased A Set Of 4 New Mitch. Tires For His 2003 Vett. His Electronic Tire Sensor System Has Quit Working. After 4 Days In His Local Dealership And 2 New Sets (8) Sensors The Service Manager Tells Him The System Only Works With Goodyear Runflats. My Wife Has A Gm Vehicle With The Same Type System We Have Had 3 Diffrent Sets Of Tires (3) (mnfg.) No Problems. Have Any Of You Heard Of The Runflat Only Deal? Thanks John K tstar 03-22-2007, 01:00 PM LOL nope! Gonna have to throw the BS flag on that one! That is totally absurd! The idiots probably don't know how to reset the sending units with a magnet... Tell your buddy to go get his service done somewhere else FAST! tom snitzer 03-22-2007, 04:18 PM The industry standard which everyone compares themselves to is the Michelin PS2. Non run flat version. More expensive than some other choices. Standard equip on Ferrari, Porche 911 and most supercars. Not much will outperform. Also quiet ride. smokinvette 03-22-2007, 07:01 PM The industry standard which everyone compares themselves to is the Michelin PS2. Non run flat version. More expensive than some other choices.

Are there any rumors if Michelin will get on this band wagon?
