I just bought a very low mileage 95 roadster that has Goodyear GSC's on it, OMG these tires seem very loud and hard, not at all like the Goodyear Eagles i have on my 88 Z-52 coupe, just wondering if this is how the GSC's are . btw, my 88 has 275/40's front and 315/35's rear and it rides so much nicer the the 95. just looking for input in regards to the GSC's
and maybe recommendations for other brands

I have 275 and 315 on my 91.  They are Nutto and I have no other experience with tires on this car. I'm not impressed. A 2005 Z06 owner tells me to go with Michilin. I have always liked Michlin better than anything on Lincolns and SuperCoupes. I am tempted to try them on the Vette but they are nearly three times the price. Front tires on the vette are going to have to happen soon.

Check the RPO codes in your compartment. If it has a Z51 in there then it has the Z51 suspension which is always going to give you a rough ride. If you want to soften it up a bit you can change the shocks. you will still have the stiffer springs but a shock change helps a little. Ohh and by the way, if you do still have the original Bilstein Z51 shocks i would be interested in buying them if you decide to sell them.
