Not me. My C2 is a '67, small block, side pipes, bolt-on wheels. But it is a sweet ride! I also had a '14 C7 Premier Edition coupe, which I sold last year to fund the C8 Z06. Was supposed to get...

I went to the Chevy site and "built" an eRay. Tire selection does offer 2 types, the standard being the AS, optional being "summer." AS are shown as Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, same sizes.
