2026 Eray

Hi my new friends.....I bought this beautiful car in Lake Charles Louisiana Thursday. Left Memphis Tennessee in a Lexus LC500 trade that morning and was back home by 9:30 that night. About 1100 miles. The car came with summer tires and now he problem is the temperature here is below 30 degrees or rain for the foreseeable future so I cant drive it! Looks good in the garage though.

Congratulations and welcome. If it makes you feel any better, my car is covered in the garage since early November and probably won't come out until late March at the earliest. That's what owning a Vette is all about.

Did you replace right away or wait until the summer tires wore out?
