Default Brand new C5, well sort of.....

With the help and advise of knowledgeable forum members the hard, noisy GY Eagles (got lots of wear out of them though) have been replaced with Nitto Invo's. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! I now have a brand new C5! Better ride, quieter, great handling and traction. VERY pleased. Love the funny looking tread design also. (looks are important too) BIG thanks for the help in choosing new shoes.

Good to hear! New rubber makes all the difference, especially with a nice set of Nitto's

I agree that a new set of tires can make the car feel like new again. And switching from runflats to non-runflats makes a huge difference.
