Snow tires

[427Carl]

I have just bought a Y2K roadster, and was wondering, if the snow tires would have to be 17 and 18's? or could I run 4 of each? Does anyone put bags of salt in back for weight?

17's for sure in the front. I'm sure as long as you keep the circumference of the rear tire at least 1/2" larger than the fronts, you could run 17's in the rear as well.

I think I will go a little further, and have the trunk done with Rhino liner.. and fill with sand for safety

HA! You got me! Why would you go to all the expense and time of spraying in Rhino Liner! I would just put a tarp down.

Darn just found out Corvettes are not AWD may have to park in winter oh well I am retired... just stay in...--------------------------------------------
SORRY about the black rim comments... Same happened with my 2010 2SS/RS on Camaro site.... I ran a tire shop from 1971 to 2006... spent my whole life selling chrome wheels to jazz up customers cars...
Too old, to understand, why anyone would think black was a sick thing..and lowering a car that is already too low (for me) sorry... its just age.....

Oh no! You mean you're not a prankster who wants to have a little fun (like many of us.)?

Sometimes the younger group don't understand us 'matured' group.

For what it's worth on the black wheels --- I never thought I'd ever like them and to some extent I still don't .......but after some here (one of whom asked to go un-named for now) actually have these -- I find that they're actually growing on me now. Imagine that! A grumpy old SOB like me maybe even liking the blacked out 'murdered' look. What is this world coming to I don't know?

Further, I still have shiny, bright, chromed 'bling' and love them more than any other, so don't expect me to shod mine with anything so drastic in the near future but I just thought I'd say.

I think we're all friendly enough to know that any opinions and choices that are made here aren't meant to dis or upset anyone and the worst that is happening is someone getting their leg pulled or being poked in a very light-hearted way.
Use of Emoticons or smilies come in real handy and are really helpful on the internet for conveying feeling or helping to be understood. Not easy on this medium.

I'm sure young and old are mature enough to know choice is an individual's, and differences are expected, needed and make us all unique tho a little ego creeps in occasionally -- after all we're only human.

Pardon the rambling -- it's another cross to bear for us matured folk.
