Skeezer,

Congrats on your purchase of one fine Corvette. I hope it brings you as much fun, joy and pride of ownership as my Corvette brings me.

Do use extra caution driving it during the winter (and spring) cold as those Goodyear tires are rates for summer's warm and they do not like wet roads either.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try my best to keep it out of the rain. It will be staying in the garage until we see some nice days again in Chicago.
