Thanks for all of info, I am going to get the tpms parts and activate the system. Do I just get GM parts and do i need a magnet of some sort to activate them? I see I have to get a GM dealer to activate the computer? What kind/type of patch kit should I get. My car does not have the inflator kit.

This a great place for information. Thanks to all of you.

you can call in and order the tmps from tire rack or get them from one of the forum vendors (gene culley,etc)... you can use a speaker magnet to "train" the sensors... i have a can of green slime and a 12v compressor i picked up..

Different camber and toe for Z06. Runflats would probaby run like crap with the diff camber and toe in.

Just out of curiosity, can you share which model of Michelin tires your Z is running on now?

I'll would be glad to but I am in Europe this week and will have to do it when I get home. I looked at Tire Rack last week and they carry the tire, I just can't remember which one it is. They were on the car when I bought it.
