Need Tire HELP! PLEASE READ
Ok, I picked up my Vette in Texas and am now in Denver area (longmont) driving to Oregon and my tires are 99% shot. I can't find any tires in Z06 sizes.
Is there any one near by that would help a fellow Vette brother out? I don't care what the tires look like as long as they have 2000 miles left on them. Right now I'm on Nitto Extreme R2's and they have zero tread left (none to begin with) and yes I know they come with only 5 or 6 32's but I have 0 to 1/32's left. The guy bought the Vette from said the tires were fine
NOT...
Please give me a call on my cell tonight (Friday September 29th) or early tomorrow morning if you can help. Thanks for reading this and yes I feel like a moron...541-971-2752 Travis and Thanks!

Pretty sure I saw a whole set of tires at his shop last week.Also, try Performance Wheel & Tire on Santa Fe & Oxford.
(303) 934-2929
4095 S Santa Fe Dr
Sheridan, CO (this is basically denver)
Also, try Jim Paris Tyre City (303) 450-0011 - They mainly carry Toyo's but I think they can get anything.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up just buying some brand new tires for the back from Discount Tires in Boulder. The got me in at 7:30 am and actually had some 18inch tires but they were 275/40/18's. It cost me $430 total for tires that will be off the car next week but oh well.
Thanks for all your help guys. The only place in Denver that even had tires that would fit the Vette (and in stock) ended up being Discount tire. If I would've had more time I think you guys probably could've found me some free tires some how. It's nice to know that where ever I travel there's good people and great vette owners.
