Need tires for my 2003 C5 Coup 50th anniversary

In search of Run Flats in Michelin or another premium P245/45ZR17 and P275/40ZR18 and have only located the rear 18s. Bought this Corvette with 14k on her and the original tires. Planning to sell once I find tires, but think I want to stay with run flats. Opinion on NOT replacing with run flats? Anyone know of a place with the 17s in stock.

I believe these cars run much better without run flats. Have you tried Discount Tire Direct and Tirerack?

Go to Smyrna Tire on South Cobb Dr over by Adventure Outdoors. Talk to Mike Myers, the owner. Tell him Corvette Chris J, sent you and he'll take care of you. They have been in the same location since the 50s, very Corvette friendly and I've been buying tires from them for over 20 years. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to DM me and I can help you offline.
