I bought it from The Chevy Store on Stark, just off I-205.

They are Michelin Pilot Sports (non run-flat). They were what was on the car and have a fair bit of life left in them.

I've had good success with the Yokohama AVS ES100 and Toyo T1-S on other cars.

I'm not that far away from you, and I get down to the Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood to volunteer a few times a month, so you never know.

Do you belong to any of the local Corvette clubs?

The pictures were taken at Rex Hill Vineyard, on 99W between Sherwood and Newberg. They were having a case sale yesterday so the wife and I decided to check it out. I thought a vineyard might make a nice backdrop for some pictures.

If it ever stops raining here I will do that. Until then, it seems a rather pointless exercise.
