Hi,
My tires are just about Shot on the 08 Vert Z51. Problem is I'm unemployed and have a baby on the way so I really need tires, but need them as inexpensive as possible. Was wondering what my best options are? Obviously I can't use run flats I assume as they will be too expensive.

I'm not sure if he has any tires to fit the rear but if he does, they'll be Michelin Pilot Sports in the 305/30/19 size which is what I went with. That's about the largest tire that will fit on the rear but they look perfectly fine on my car.
Let me know if you're interested and I can give the guy a call for you.

Your best bet is the Forum's "Parts For Sale." Monitor it daily. I see new takeoffs all the time on there. I bought a complete set of wheels and takeoffs from there about a year ago and the deal was less than half the price of the tires alone.

I have tires that came on F-55 and have close to 28,000 miles now and still alot more to go.
You might try Kumho tires for the lowest price.

Sorry to hear about your hard times. I have a set of Michelin Pilot Sports in OEM sizes I was going to put up for sale. The fronts have about 8/32 tread (80%) and the rears have about 6/32 (60%). One rear one does have a patch in it, professionally done. In the spirit of the holidays would you be interested in them for $200 plus shipping? If so, PM me.

You aren't working, so you don't need tires to drive to work.
Instead of searching for cheap tires, you should plan of being a stay at home dad, and search for jobs for the wife.
