Default Killer Deal.......

I'm getting ready to buy new wheels for my 98 (19/10 rear 18/9.5 front) needless to say I will need new tires also. I went to the Vette shop I've been going to for 13+ years now and saw that they had some F1 Supercar EMT's stacked in the corner, now at Tire Rack a set will cost $1,600.00 or so, these are 1 month old used tires that came off a C6. I was told they would sell them to me for $950.00 which is already a good deal. Here's the clincher, I'm a computer engineer and they needed some computer work done, well to make this story short I got the tires for $500.00 bucks the tires have 95% or more tread life left.

JeffC5: I don't have the tires on yet, I'm still waiting on the wheels to get in to purchase them.

Deduncan: Sorry dude, I'm putting the wagons on my C4, My C4 already have wagons on them but they are 17/9.5 all around and I don't think your brother wants those.
