Maybe .1 they will save you in ets and about 50total lbs. If you are running et streets however, they will safeguard you from smacking the wall as the C5s get squirelly on the top end when run bias ply slicks or et streets in the back and stock radial in front. In other words for safety when running a bias ply tire in the back you will want a bias ply skinnine in front. Look at the CCW drag package for C5/z06s which include all four tires with et streets mounted and bias ply fire stone skinnines for about 2K. I have this set up and it rocks for both the local street scene and the dragstrip!
