Would not be a smart move. Goodyear makes a M+S tire for the Vette - that's about as close as you should get.

Even if possible, which I don't think it is ......the question is WHY

Get your flame suit on......this one will be a doozy.



You get one of these though for even posting the question.

My '03 Owner's Manual contains a very strong caution against the use of tire chains and I suppect the manuals for other model years do to. Look in your manuals index under Tires>Chains.

So what were you thinking when posting this thread. Not such a great idea for a Vette. Need an SUV? The guys got right on you for this one.

Not to worry you'll get them some day believe me. rofl:
