Needs new tires, any suggestions. I don't need crazy racing stuff, this will be a daily driver in CA, so sun and rain and mountains. I appreciate any suggestions.

I got mine last year. I did not sleep the night before I picked it up. Most fun car I have ever had. Congratulations.

Welcome! Looks like a nice car - and it has the magnesium wheels, which were a $3000 option in 1999.

As far as tires go - lots of choices and prices out there, not to mention whether you want an extended mobility (run flat) or not. A great choice for a daily driver is the Michelin Pilot A/S ZP. It's not overly expensive and many members here run it with good results.

Good luck and remember that the only stupid question is the one not asked.

Very nice car you'll be getting. I'd suggest looking at the Hankook Ventus V12 tires for the car. Good price and a good tire.

great looking car -I like the wheels

I too have the Firestones - have had them for 30k miles and they
have done very well - about 75% worn now. Mine are C5Z sizes
which will work fine on your rims - I have Z size wheels ( 1 inch
wider) but they spread the firestones out pretty far - might even
look better on the reg. C5 wheels ( 265-40 front and 295-35 rear)
Pretty low priced as well.

Cool car, great price! Welcome

Very clean looking car at a good price. As far as tire buying goes, your first step is to figure out whether you want runflats or not.

Chriscam21

Non run flats. I hear the ride is much better.

Nice color! This is a 98.
It had 20,000 when I bought it 3 years ago, now it has 35K.
Only problem was the Fuel shut off relay (CLB)
I just put a set of Billy Boat Bullets on and sold my Rt 66.
Sounds like a sports car should.

Good Luck with it and enjoy it.

Very nice! Looks like it's been well cared for. Enjoy!!!

Chriscam21

Thanks, lots of care with the outside and interior. They never touched the engine compartment. Any problems with pressure washing the engine bay?

Chriscam21

Nice Car,
What brand of wheels are those?

Z28ImpalaSS

Very nice looking '99. Looks like the previous owners took very good care of it. Welcome to the Forum.

I would avoid pressure washing your engine bay at all costs. A simple wet rag should do the trick most of the time. If there is a lot of grease and grime build up, you could try a degreaser with a LIGHT MIST from a garden hose while trying to avoid all electrical components as much as possible.

Rob04C5LM

I definitely wouldn't pressure wash it. Many detail shops use steam-cleaning for engine bays and undercarriage as they do a very effective job of removing built-up grime without excessive moisture. If it's not really bad, you can probably get the job done with a wet rag and some simple-green.

These cars have enough issues with electrical grounds, etc. without adding excessive water to the equation.

You forgot the main option! Magnesium wheels!

Those are awesome!

BigTattooMan

Wow nice of them to store the car for you all of these years.
Congrats on your new Vette
