Compatible tires
I have an opportunity to buy some polished rims and tires at a decent price. My car has the Z51 pkg and I believe these are not from a Z51 equipped car. I believe the rear tires are P275 insted of P285 and the tread looks different. Would these be ok on my car? Does anyone think I would notice that much of a difference? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

The tires on the C6 are the same size for the Z51 and non-Z51 suspensions. The main difference is in the compound. The Z51 comes with the Supercar version of the EMT tire which is stickier than the plain EMT. If the tires are 275 not 285, they aren't the original tires.
