Default I just put Stock size c5 tires on ZO6 Chromies and DON"T LIKE THEM.

Just wanted to let you know. If your upgrading to some ZO6 Chromies you will want to plan on buying all new tires as well. When i put the 275s on the rear and the 245s on the front the car feels less stable. Like it wants to dart around more. its livable. But I feel its less performance than with the 8.5/9.5 rims.

Actually, that stretches the fronts a little more then goodyear says they should be pulled. If you used the stock Z06 size then I would definetly say a tire change is needed. Some places, do have the Z06 wheels available in the same size as the C5 stock wheels. We sell them where I work that way and they work great.

ditch the run flats for some of the newer rubber, your a bit limited with the 295 till kuhmo releases the MX but you still have pilots and yoke sports

I have a complete set of Goodyear F1 Supercar Tires for Z06 wheels, 265x40x17 front and 295x35x18 rear, "like new", less than 5K miles, and approx. 70 - 80% tread left, asking $650 plus shipping from Dallas.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Wheeljo2
