Default WTB - one (or two) used front stock tire! anyone?

*****GOT TWO GREAT TIRES NOW, THANKS RAIN!!!!!*****



Blew out my right front tire as I was leaving on a road trip.
The other tires are not in good enough shape for me to buy a new replacement.
So....I need one stock Goodyear F1 EMT (245 45/17).
I have been watching the forum and Ebay w/o any luck so far. Sure wish I could get the car out in this nice weather!
Anyone got an extra tire they would part with? I would buy both fronts just to get me going.

I'll wait and see if someone has a matching tire. If not, I will keep you in mind.

I have two of the tires you are looking for. There are not brand new by any means, but give me an offer.

You can have mine: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...post1549438960

The inside edge is worn pretty bad, but the rest of the tire has good tread and it should last you for a while until you're ready to replace them all (which is exactly why I kept it!).

Just pay shipping...

I have a set of Eagle F1 runflats (fronts) that I removed from a set of wagon wheels. not sure on the tread but can go check with a penny if you are still looking.

(not sure they are EMTs.. did theEMTs exist when C5s had wagon wheels in pre 2000)
could meet ya in Mobile or somewhere closer to mid way to save on shipping

will snap some pics if ya like

Hey- Glad that we both had the time to meet on the side of the interstate to make the exchange. Enjoyed meeting you both and hope Gulf Shores was a speedy and relaxing destination. (and that the traveling tunes didn't suck too bad) HAHAHA!

Those should last until you are ready to buy a new set for your Vette - which you gotta show me someday!
