The Vette uses a Goodyear Eagle F1 "Run Flat" tire. It was setup with those tires because GM wanted more cargo space so when they ditched the spare, they need a tire that could be driven flat. The size of the tires also has a lot to do with the price, but even the standard F1's aren't exactly cheap.
I believe the run flat has a speed rating of 50-55mph when flat.
