Nothing like new rubber to improve the handling and ride...... enjoy!

My 1987 C4 got four brand new BFGoodrich Tires, about two months ago. My research shows that they are manufactured by Michelin. These tires replaced the originals, they were almost like riding on steel tires, Very loud and super hard, I also replaced the original Bilstein Shocks, and along with an alingment I couldn't believe the way it was quieted down and became smooth as silk. These tires handle incredibly well. I love my C4 so much I am considering selling my C5, which also just got new Michelins and they too are superior tires.
Since I only drive mine in the summer, I bought the sumer tires and anytime I get tires I get a 4 wheel alingment. Mine are quiet and I'm very pleased with the noise but it really doesn't matter as I keep the top down and its noisey anyway!! Pass a truck and I can't even hear the radio but I love the wind in my hair going 80mph.
