I have found the corvette of my dreams. BLK, 1989, 6spd, $10800, good cond. Only question, are there any snowtires for the C4s? Please tell me what you guys use if you use them. Every bit of info helps, thanks for your hospitality.

Tires w/ an M&S rating (All season) are your only bet these days - there used to be an aggressive winter tire, not any more though...

I have been extremely pleased with the snow and ice performance of my Bridgestone Potenza RE730's however they are no longer in production and the tread pattern of the new Potenbenzas (available in my size) is different. I have been torn between the F1 GS D3 and the TA KDWS. I know that the KDWS is supposed to provide all around Dry, Wet, and Snow performance however, I don't want to be limited in my dry weather performance.
I was driving in this.



With these.


My car needs some new shoes!
I know that the wear was uneven that is why I lowered the car, I figured that I should install all new bushing prior to getting an alignment and since the rear was apart I might as well install a D44, and oh buy the way with everything already in peices it would be good time to lower it, since it needs an alignment anyway. (OH BUY THE WAYS and Might as Wells always escalate my projects) The alignment was one of the cheapest aspects of the entire project.

I was in Washington DC, and missed out on a week of warm weather, the forecast calls for cold weather starting tomorrow.
