Corvette newby
Same story I'm sure a thousand times over, but I finally bit the bullet and bought my first vette today. A 1999 arrest me red red with oak rag top. Had Harley's for quite awhile (still do) and shifting life gears a bit. Always wanted a vette
Enough about me, she turned 19k on the way home. This car is in impeccable condition. All original that I can tell except for exhaust which I believe is corsa and the wheels are chrome "dipped". I'm pretty sure tires are original 1998 on front and rears are from 2002 (if I read the DOT date codes right). Thinking I'm gonna need some new rubber to be safe, even though I drove it about 60 miles home. Any suggestions on tires would be great. I thought they were run flats, but not sure if theses are.
