Michelin Primacy MX4. Stock 16' size. I did put them on some Eagle alloy rims as part of my mission to not be mistaken for another rental car in this tourist town.

Super smooth and they have rolled about 130,000 miles. Still have little life in them.

This one's built for comfort.

Currently on it are BFG KDW2s. 245/45/18 all around.

They're ok I guess. Acceleration traction is pretty miserable (even before the recent round of mods), but I guess that's par for the course with any somewhat powerful fwd car on regular street tires.

I did just pick up some new wheels since these tires are shot and I've had wheel fitment issues with my old rims, so it will be on Nitto Motivos 235/50/18 until I can find some aftermarket wheels that I like.

The long term plan with new wheels is some drag radials up front for the street. Lots of people in the vette community seem to be getting fairly reasonable mileage (10k+ miles) out of some of the latest gen drag radials.
