Tire Selection
 

This spring in a few months when i pull my baby out of storage i am getting corvette c5 chrome. I need to put tires on them and i am not sure of what tires i am very short for $$ and i am looking into Falken ZE-512 and the Fuzion ZRi. The only think i have against the fuzions is that my best freind with the same year camaro who had ZR1 rims uses fuzions and i dont want to look like a poser. The falkens are also 60$ cheaper. Any opinions are helpfull thanks. Also i am most likely going to do 275-40-17 all around, just so that i can rotate them when needed. Keep in mind i am a burnout enthusiast and are going for the cheapest and best deal. The Falkens also have a good looking tread design...I AM OPEN FOR ALL OPINIONS so please help me out, thanks fellow camaro enthusiasts,
Peter

he has 17s.

the only falken i would reccomend is the rt-615. that there is a VERY nice tire. in your situation tho, the fuzion is better bang for the buck by far.

You guys are too damn cheap when it comes to tires.

Yeah haha.. thats like a little more than what I paid for the tires I have on my stockers now... and I was looking for the cheapest then

This is one situation, where you get what you pay for.

If its a daily driver, and you dont care about them hooking, get some cheap *** tires, but dont expect good traction, mileage, or ride.

I have Fuzion ZRi on my old wheels and they are good tire for the price.
I use them for over 6 months and they still look like new... I have no complains

what tire do u have?

Sumitomo HTR+ 275/45/17

Not the best tire, but my car is also my DD right now. I have my old salad shooters with some MT's on them for the track.

I like my Toyo's

Me too, they are the best I've had.

I have had the ZE-512's on my salad shooters and they had a very weak sidewall, also I had a problem with one tearing on the inside somehow, but they have a warranty so that took care of that. Before I put the new wheels/tires on one of the other Falkens was getting a very large bulge in it, so if you are going with those, keep an eye on them.
