New tires installed
Took our first ride last night with the new tires. Took off the OEM Goodyear Eagle F1 runflats, and put some Bridgestone Potenza Sports on. ALL the difference in the world. I can finally hear what the pipes sound like.....nice. Hopefully they will wear as good as they dont howl.
Anyways....OEM Goodyears with 11,000 miles on them for sale, $750.00

Put Michelin A/S ZPs (run flats) on the 02 coupe; rides better and sound level greatly diminished. Put the Potenzas, non run flats on my Z06, replacing the GY Super Car tires and it rides better and sound level also greatly diminished. The GY Eagle run flats on the 08 are quiet and the car handles great, but the tires only have 6700 miles on them, so they haven't had the chance to become typical of the GY run flats with high mileage. I will most likely put the Michelin A/S on the 08 in 3 or 4 years when the Eagles are kaput.
