Yes, I heard tire mounting was something. Someone made a statement, "lots of tire snot".

I am looking at take off's, new -0- miles for $1800. shipped. Real G M with marks.

Hope it is a fair price. All said and done , 4 GM rims, 4 all season, but not run flat. I

will let you guys know how it turns out. Anything special to look out for with the non

run flat's? Thank you for all the information.

I see Pirelli makes winter tires, but a little smaller in size.

I don't see 871 recorded in my registry, was sold out of Green Bay, WI. M7, visible CF roof, Comp Seats. Let them know we're out here waiting for a check-in :-)

Someone on the forums has finally claimed one of the three known with factory yellow calipers! They are definitely unique and rare as far as CE's go. #253 and #666 are the other two. Congrats, registry updated.

Dual roof package on that car, cool. Chicago! Did you buy it new, or used? I'm showing the car as originally sold out of Temecula, CA....
