I went to the Continental Extremes. Not running the runflats currently. Same PSI. We did align the wheels when replaced, but I believe we retained the OEM Z51 settings. Wear seems fine at present.

I couldn't stand the RunCraps anylonger and replaced them at 16,500 miles. I went from riding in a a veering buckboard to a predictable sportscar overnight.

With the new "Stingrays" coming onto the scene, I've got to imagine there will be more C6's available, so the shopping around idea has some merit. However, if you plan to own the car for a while,...

GM always seems to have some interesting electronic "gremlins". I've had this happen on my 05 Corvette as well as my 2010 CTS. Shutting off and restarting the engine seems to "re-boot" the system.

Question on the 05?....Is the steering wheel the same size (diameter)? I've always felt my OEM wheel is just a tad too large for the car. Are there replacement options?

When I originally got my MGW, either George or the forum advised to put a glob of silicon goo inside the shift knob when you reattach. I did it and have never had any issues. A little dab ul do ya!
