tires
How much and Where can I get the best price on goodyear run-flat gsc's for my 95? Also how does the low pressure warning light work. Do I need to go to dealer for installation or can a tire shop do it. Thanks for any help...

Re: tires (VERTMAN)
why do you want the runflats? Firestone Sz50 and Michelin Pilots are better

I have to agree, most everyone I know that had runflats has switched to regular tires. They ride much smoother and you have a much better assortment. The main thing is most surveys say that the GSCs are least liked and the most expensive :yesnod:

I guess I don't have to go with run-flats I did not know that was possible. Will it affect the the low pressure light.

Re: tires (vader86)
My recommendation is the Michelin Pilot XGT Z4, great tire, probably the best.

I just got the Firestone Firehawk SZ50's
Must say the 94 Vette handle way much better than with the Goodyears GSC.
I only paid $850 for all 4.

Re: tires (chucks88)
I just bought 2 P275/40/17 Kumhos from Tirerack.com. Side by side comparison with the P285s that came off the car, the kumhos were a little wider but the same height. I paid 113 each for the Kumhos and so far I love em
