Any feedback on run flat tires? I'm looking at going to a 19" wheel/tire combo and they popped up in my search. 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+

Those were the oem tires on my corvette when I had it. Dont expect good performance. They’ll be far worse than oem and ruin acceleration, braking and cornering.

Which brand of tires do you recommend?
I think all brands have a good tire it just depends on what you want to compromise on. If you daily the car and rack up 15k miles a year a RE71r would be a waste/ expensive. If you want maximum performance that is one of the best tires to run and will make your car accelerate better, corner better and brake better.

If you want something that lasts longer but is still grippy a Firehawk indy 500 is a great compromise tire for price, grip and longevity.

The Firehawk is cheaper right?
What about the PS4S? What do you think about those tires?
