Nitto tires use to be a good bang for your buck tire back in the 90's. Anyone have a set of Nitto's on their vette and do some semi aggressive driving? Mainly hanging corners. Looking for a review on them.

He lied to you. The base width tires will not safely fit on a GS.

why not buy the rears now, and the fronts 5-6 months?? If you can't afford tires, how can you afford to fix anything when breaks? I can't afford a corvette right now, so I am waiting when I'm ready and have the money.

10gsvette ....
I am not going to bullshit you here ... Here is the real deal.
The base C6 and the GS both have 18" wheels in the front and 19" wheels on the rear.
The problem is that the width of the wheels are not the same between the base and the GS.
What your wanting to do is install a narrow base C6 sized tire on a wide C6 GS wheel.
It just won't work, however, if you manage to mount those skinny base C6 width tires on your wide GS wheels, the car is going to be dangerous to drive.

Bottom line .... I think your NUTS !
Trade that damned GS of yours for something small that takes a set of small / cheap tires !
