Tires
First off I would like to thank all who responded to my thread yesterday about the 2004 Z06 Commemorative Edition.
It helped me to make a decision about purchasing the vehicle. Still negotiating.
What do you do about replacing the original tires?
I would like to keep the original size tires.
I have found the rear but it seems that no one carries the stock size for the front anymore.
I really like the original polished wheels and would like to keep them on the car.
Want to keep the 17/18 setup.

The 265/40-17 front tires are about as common as hen's teeth these days.
This isn't a problem, just step up one size in width. I just put new Continental Sport 02 tires on my Z06; 275/40-17 and 295/35-18
They fit fine on the OE Z06 Speedline wheels.
IIRC, Michelin, and others offer these sizes.
