Select From A Range Of Corvette Tires

Your Corvette, whether it's a C5 or a C6, deserves the best of treatment. That's why periodically you would need to look after its important components that could be the engine one month and its suspension system including its shocks and coilovers, sway bars and springs could be in the next month. Another month you may need to work on the brakes or the exhaust system. However, one of the most important sections of the Corvette that you'd need to pay particular attention to is the Corvette wheels and tires. The Corvette wheels and tires could mean the difference between life and extreme conditions that could challenge your very survival. The Corvette tires especially take a lot of beating. Imagine the stresses on your tires when you have revved up to a very high speed and are coming down a slope and would need to take the curve that's just ahead without losing your speed. Tires could burn and start smoking and if the best of tires have not been used you could have a blowout and experience a total loss of control.

Fitting the best Corvette tires therefore is the wisest choice. Which tires you would need to fit would depend on several factors. These could be firstly the conditions of your driving whether you are intending to drive on the track or generally in the city. You also have to decide upon the road conditions. Some of the tires are meant for summer use. You cannot drive these on icy and snowed up conditions. Some tires are run-flat tires. This implies that these Corvette tires could be driven even when they have been punctured and all the air has leaked out of the tires without the loss of either the traction or the control. The Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval RFT tire is in this variety. It has been developed specially for the drivers of the C6 Corvette. The Hoosier A6 Autocross DOT Radial tires on the other hand have been specially developed for drivers who are competing in Autocross, hill climb or time trial events provided the conditions are dry.
