Tire Recommendations?
I need a tire for my c5 that'll last ~20k but costs under 1,100$. My priority being grip. I looked at Potenza Re11's for a while but for how much they cost i dont think they will last me long enough. Preferably non-runflat. I dont track the car but I do alot of 'spirited driving' and i would really enjoy confidence in my tires

if your priority is maximum grip you need to temper your tread life expectancy. Tires with grip levels of the RE11 typically do not last 20k miles as tire design is an exercise in compromise. To achieve extreme levels of grip tire life and wet traction are usually sacrificed. Add to that your self imposed budget and your tire selection all but, drys up.
all things being considered I think the RE11 is you best option in the OE C5 sizes

Tires are one of the most important parts for any vehicle. If you want to buy tire for your c5 then you should immediately consult with a famous automotive parts distributor or you can also purchase it by preferring websites that offers best quality and durable tires in affordable price.

I ended up going with BFG Sport Comp 2's. Good wear and good handling. The perfect compromise for me. Around 800 balanced and aligned. Not bad at all
