[QUOTE="nascar03, post: 112363, member: 43"] Hi D Dunn.. what size tires are you looking for? What size rims do you have? The big issue in the C5 Corvette tire world today is no one makes wide 17" performance tires!!! 18" is even limited in availability. A few friends on mine with C5 Z06s are looking for.tires... I run Z06 wheels on my 2003 convertible. 265/40ZR17 front 295/35ZR18 rears. Michelin Pilot Sport. The new Michelin PS 4 series does NOT include a wide 17" tire... Actually there are barely any 18s! I contacted Michelin to see if they have any back inventory.....they said they have 6 of my rear size left but none of the fronts. But they do not know if any dealers might have some old stock. One dealer here had some old stock of the correct Z06 sizes.,wanted $2.5K and they were over 10 years old! A buddy here bought Yokohamas in near the right size for his 2004Z06... but the fronts & rears had different tread patterns..?!? Probably different performance ratings.. If you are willing to get new rims then there are way more options.. Don't even bother with 18" wheels..go to 19s at least. I don't need tires today but willing to buy if I find some that fit..preferably Michelin. I spent a bit to have my Z06 wheels surfaced and powder coated.. and really don't want to get new rims.
