Customer Reviews
Too soon to share info about tread life. These tires on our 2017 Stingray Z51. They ride INFINITELY better than the awful Michelin run-flats. We did a street alignment and noticed an immediate improvement in slow cornering response. No more “slipping” or “chirping” in hard slow corners.
Bought and paid for in October put on in February, I should get some kind of compensation for waiting so long. Overall I like the tires thank you.
these are great tires, they have great traction, even in snow. the tread wear is very good.
