Tire/Wheel Question

I have a 2K Vert and am considering replacing spokes with std OE wheel & tire set. Question : Does the Zo6 also have tire pressure sensors and runflats ? :steering:

No sensors or runflats on stock Z06's

Sensors can easily be added to Z06 rims.

:iagree: Did that with my stock sensors when I switched over to Z06 rims & supercar tires on my coupe a few weeks back. Works fine! If you do this, make sure your tire guy keeps track of which sensor goes on which corner & you won't even have to retrain them.

Note: Also, you need to consider how you use the car if you're switching to non-runflats. My wife just had a flat on the freeway day before yesterday. By the time she got the car to the side of the road, the tire was literally GONE - totally shredded. That will spoil your day for sure! I am now re-evaluating my choice of SC's for my coupe (and her Z06.)
