Re: > C6 Wheel Size Speculation < (Tiger Shark)
Hmm... over on http://www.autoextremist.com they're saying it's going to have 18 x 8.5" front / 19 x 10.0" rear wheels. They also say it's going to wear 245/40ZR18 front tires and 285/35ZR19 rear tires.
That's interesting, because that's the same size rear tire I'm putting on my upcoming 19 x 10.5" rear wheels... Pirelli PZero Rosso. However, I'm putting a 255/40ZR18 on my 18 x 9.5" front wheels... Pirelli PZero Rosso Direzionale.
If this info is true, sounds like I'll soon have the option of buying a set of the next generation Corvette Goodyear EMTs for my new 18 / 19 wheels! :cheers:

Oh boy runcraps! If they up the HP to 500 for the Z06 the current 295s don't stand a chance. The new SRT/10 is running around town with what 345s?

Re: > C6 Wheel Size Speculation < (LongTimer)
Long Timer, thanks for reposting that interior shot. For some reason, that's the first I've seen of it. However, it was disappointing to find that when I enhanced the image, this was just a C5 interior! Sure would like to see a shot of the C6's real interior.
Thanks again for posting, though :cheers:
Edit: Never mind - I see now the top shot IS a C5, duh, my bad!

Although I don't know "which" model these would come on we're showing the following...
19" front
20" rear
12.8" front brake rotors
12.0" rear brake rotors

Re: (Scissors)
Ahhh, but there's something else to that, Scorp. There was talk of Goodyear licensing Michelin's new runflat PAX technology for their runflats. Or, in other words, runflats with the grip and quiet ride of non-runflats.
