Default Tire options for C5s...

What tires options are available for C5s that will fit the car that have a higher profile for an even smoother ride vs. the standard lower profile run flats if one is willing to sacrifice a spare tire and some handling.

Thanks.

Any NON runflat will be smoother but as far as HIGH profile - its a vette it should not have a high profile. The factory tires are quite high already - my 330i only has one inch or so profile vs 2.5 inch on the c5.

I would replace them with a good quality non runflat in the factory size so you dont upset then handling of the car or the ABS/TC/Sability control electronics. A all season tire may run smoother vs. a max summer tire.
