Welcome Lars! You must be truly committed to the Corvette cause as I understand sportsar prices are, shall we say, "interesting" in Denmark.

Glad to see you're doing Le Mans. There's always a strong Danish contingent and we do our bit to boost the numbers. Sometimes they even allow a Dane to race a C6-R....

I have tried the folowing tires on these wheels.

Yokohama AVS 40 265/40 17 front and AVS 35 315/35 17 rear, Its a tires maked "Motorsports project", thay had really good grip, ok rain performance and medium noise.

I have have also had a apir of Kumho V700 on the rear in medium compund. They have REALLY amazing grip, poor rain performance, and are very noisy and wear out VERY fast! BUT those tires ahve given be the most amazing 0-100 times.

Bottom is a pic of a pari óg track worn Kumho´s and some flat spottet AVS. Dont say i Dont DRIVE my vette. lol

I currently have. falken fk451 275/40 17 front. Its a kinda "budget tire", but it performs really well! nive wet perfomance too. To early to say anything about wear.

rear i currently have Goodyear GSC 315/35 17. Really good all rounjd performance tire, good dry grip, ok rain grip and low noise level.

Next time i will go for some Goodyear GSD-3, I simply love that design!

There's good reports that Falken do the business at a sensible price while wearing a bit quicker than more expensive brands. Outstandifold in the wetty grippers!
