I'm thinking of going to non-runflats and like the looks and performance of the ZO6 SC Tires (at least they seem to perform well on the stock ZO6)
Will these tires fit without problem on the rim width of the stock Y2K high polished rims?..
Thanks in advance for your help

ajrls -- Thanks man for the reply
I thought they would be but was somewhat concerned about the rim width issue. Thanks for the positive reimforecment
Can't wait to get these EMTs off the Vette. And I'm taking the advice of others here, I have AAA, a cell phone and will carry a patch/plug kit with a portable compressor

I wonder if my Ruger Super BlackHawk .44 Magnum will be enough gun to carry as some have suggested??
Take care and thanks again

I went with the Yokohama AVS Sport 255/40-17 fronts and 295/35-18 backs last week and couldn't be happier. The car handles like a dream no more wild wheelspin when I get on it, Stick like glue through the corners and they are quiet on the freeways.

Good Luck: Doug
