NCM Delivery: Best Bowling Green shop for immediate Z07 tire swap?
Hey everyone,
Taking Museum Delivery on a new Z06/Z07 soon and driving it straight back to Texas. I need to swap the factory Cup 2 R tires out for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S immediately after delivery so I can hit the highway.
Two quick questions for those who have done this:
1. Which specific BG shop do you recommend? Looking for an exact location/tech with a touchless leverless machine (Hunter Revolution) who can guarantee a quick 2-hour turnaround so I don’t have to stay overnight. Is Campbell Chevy the move, or an independent shop?
2. Best way to unload the factory Cup 2Rs locally? I do not want to ship the take-offs back to Texas. Has anyone had success selling them to a local BG buyer on delivery day, or having the shop ship them directly to a forum buyer?
Appreciate the local recommendations and logistics tips. Want to get on the road to Texas fast!

I haven’t had any tires installed there, but I drive 2 hrs to Campbell Chevrolet for all of my maintenance on my C8 Z06 and have always had great service there.
There are many dealerships closer, but I have never heard any negative comments about Campbell.
My Go-To Service advisor is Chris Conn. Give him a call and he will gladly answer any questions or concerns you have.

Just FYI, the Cup 2 R’s are not terrible road tires. We drove home from our R8C to California without changing them out. Only issue was in CA when we encountered a heavy rain storm for about 25 miles. Car would “hydro-plane’” at any speed over 54 MPH. Followed a Box Truck at 54 with the 4way hazards going and it did just fine. Trip was approximately 3K miles. Once home, we swapped out the OEM wheels/Cup 2 R’s for Forgedlite wheels and S4S’s. OEM/Cup 2’s used only for Auto X/HPDE’s. Just a thought.

Appreciate the input, will have to think about it.
I would be concerned about rain - regardless I am planning to switch the tires sooner or later, so thought why not do it right away.

Selling them new will definitely make them more appealing to buyers. I also don’t want to drive in the rain with the CUPs.
I will switch them for sure, so might as well do it right away.
