I'm with you. They got me home last night in the ice and slush, and got me to work in the morning in the snow.

sorry, but snow tires and Corvette should not be used in the same sentence.

This thread comes up every winter, all the waxers who don't drive their cars in the snow think the car is going to melt if it sees snow. My car right now has the Goodyear M&S tires in the stock sizes and they work great!

Use titanium screws. Then when it is not snowing, you could do killer burnouts at night.

Oh Please...Winter tires provide very good cold weather grip and cold weather is precisely when the C5 runs it’s strongest!
