Default what luck

While taking her Trans-am in for an oil change at our local Bridgestone dealer, my wife put her name and my name in for a free set of tires. Well they drew my name and it looks like i will be getting a new set of Bridgestones for my 92 C4. I was just about ready to buy 2 for the front in the next week or two. Rears only have about 2k on them but I will save them for spares. Gatta love that woman.

Do you get to pick what kind? They make some great tires for Vette and they make some crap.

I am running on F/S Firehawk Wide Ovals and love the handling. They are great on dry, fantastic on wet, and supposedly not worth crap in snow. But then what is snow anyway?

If that is still their top tire, and they make it in the size you want, I agree.
