What are your thoughts on using two different tire brands on your Vette at the same time? I have seen a couple that have GY's up front and BFGoodys in the rear.

No problem at all, after all OEM the car has two different size tires front and rear so different brands front and rear mean little..................

Brand is probably not a safety issue as Long as it meets size, and performance requirements.
Matching tires do look better!

Mixing brands will affect the vehicles tracking. It's not a major concern but it will eventually affect the wear of the tires. :thumbsup:

Well when my rear tires wore out the front were still good so I ran mixed tires for about two years with no problems.

On a Performance Vehicle such as yours the Handling at higher speed will change .. grip and responsiveness

Runflat and non runflat mixing would not be recommended there is a Construction difference and non runflats are not going to handle the same
