Your welcome Chuck. The tune you did on my 00 vert was great. It added seat of the pants feel and the throttle response was great.

If you go with a 275 front tire instead of a 265, there will be more tire options and no problem with fitment.

She was OK with the purchase. She said I deserved it and than went on a shopping spree with her girlfriends in Charlotte. What was I going to say - NO.

Yea I have been looking at that. My main concern was is it going to be a problem for the TCS/AHS? And will it look funny? Thanks for the input.

Well after much research this weekend I called Discount Tire and changed my purchase. I had ordered the Bridgestone 760 sport. The only reason was OEM fit. But I wanted a better tire and after seeing that the 276 was only .16 wider than the 265 I went with the Nitto NT05. Should be at store in about 5 days vs the 4 - 6 weeks for the Bridgestone's.
