I just installed 4 new Falken Azenis tires on my 2000 C5 Corvette. I bought them from Discount tire. They are really affordable, and I was happy with the Falken tires I had on my 1986 C4 Corvette convertible and my 1985.5 Porsche 944. Also, a friend who works at a tire shop recommended Falken Azenis or Firestone Indy. In addition, as Bill Curlee advises, I have scheduled an appointment for an alignment. I prefer a shop which does laser alignment instead of the old-school/traditional alignment, as my tires seem to wear more evenly after a laser alignment, but I suppose any alignment is better than nothing. As for shocks. I have Bilstein, and they are excellent.

Only run flats for me.
It's nice to run on cheap tires until you get a flat and don't have a spare.
l'd rather spend a little more now over being cheap for the insurance.
It does suck though that the selection is small on them.

Agree on Michelin
However, I would like a less expensive all season alternative.

I have the Firestone Firehawks on the front, and Bridgestone's on the rear of my '03Z. They both have the same rubber compound. Couldn't find front and rears in solely either brand.
