Default C6 and the Auto Train - Advice please...

Need some advice....
Was planning on making a run down to Tampa from here in DC for some business meetings and would like to take the auto train down to Orlando, do my business, visit some friends and make the drive back via some other meetings in Nashville. Would love to take the auto train if possible but read something about low profile tires and Amtrak not being responsible.... Has anyone had any experience with a C6 on the auto train? I don't mind making the drive down (done it many times) but wanted to try the train this time IF it is safe for my C6.

Thanks in advance for your help. Leaving this Saturday so unfortunately receiving great advice next week will do me no good....

Enjoy this weather and I'll -

type to you later....
