#1 Buy 17/18 setup of Black MS save a lot of cash buy little acc. here and there for my vette such as black out kit, zo6 screens, c6 shifter, door sills, paint claipers, corvette lettering, shocks, lloyd floor mats.

#2 Buy 18/19 setup of Black MS drop more cash on new tires for the 19's and blackout kit and shocks.

If you're getting C5 motorsports, then #1. If you're getting C6 motorsports, then #2.

Default tires?

#1 if your current tires have years of life left.
