Subject: Re: 05/22/2019 by vetteblondie on 2019/5/22 22:07:40 I mentioned in a previous thread that I'd never used a RF tire. I do, however keep a small air compressor with me in the storage compartment, but have only done that recently. Typically, you don't drive your Corvette in areas where the road is shoddy to begin with, although accidents and unexpected things do occur. With RF tires, these 'unexpected things' will also blow a RF tire as well though quite often. In 25 years of having a Corvette, maybe I'm just lucky? Or ? Either way, you evaluate the tire based on if it's "xl" or "sl" meaning standard load and if it further states 'reinforced" which is equivalent to "xl", the grip, temp, wear, note your tread pattern for your driving conditions - do you do more interstate driving? city? cornering? etc. summer mainly? rainy weather mainly? etc. For me, it's Arkansas, so if it's too bad the BF takes me where I need to be in the truck, but mostly I'm in weather at or above freezing here. We do get our share of rain so I need to have water shedding tread and good grip as I have mixed interstate and spirited hilly back road driving. Those seemed to fit the bill nicely and a good price point as well. They're not my stand by faves I'd been using but I'm searching for the replacements to the Kumho Ecsta Supra SPT I used to use. I have Nitto Invos now and am not completely happy. |
