Anyone have any experience with M/T Sportsman S/R tires?
I'm looking to buy new tires for the back of my corvette and get the car set up to drive on the street. I'd like to get 29x18x15's or 30x18x15's if I can. I don't want to buy a tire that will be horrible if you get caught in the rain. I've seen a lot of the sportsman s/r's at shows but never spoke to anyone who actually drive with them. I used to have regular sportsmans and I don't want to go back to them. Any input on these or a known good tire this size is greatly appreciated.

These Hoosiers might work too. I know nothing about how they drive either.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
