Default A Few Stock Tires for a C5 - Nashville Areas

Back in late March my old dear C5 was totaled after an encounter with a drunk driver.

Que sera sera.

I bit the bullet and purchased a 2017 Grand Sport. Oh the agony.

This has left me with five tires (Five? Yep, I have an extra rear tire, from replacing the rears as a pair, following a puncture)

I will post up the make, brand, and designation later tonight when i get back home. Two of the rears, which are Michelin "high-performance all-season" types), are practically new. The two fronts, are a Bridgestone A/S type. The remaining extra rear, is a Michelin, at about half depth.

Any road - when I post up the sizes and a few pics - I don't need them any more and don't want to mess with selling them. I'll give them to any C5 brother or sister who wants to come get them.

(I also have 2 rear and 2 front wheels, from a '99. Wagon wheels. One of the front wheels is cracked and won't hold air though)

Stay tuned!

Apologies it took a while to get back to here. Busy weekend.

The rear tires are Bridgestones, rather than Michelins.

I've got 3 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 295/35 R18, for the rears, on a C5 Coupe. Two are identical and have 90% tread still. One has about 50% tread.

And I have 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position, in the stock size for the fronts, on a C5 Coupe. These also have about 90% tread.

I've kept them in my garage for the last 2 years. I took them off when I upgraded to larger TSW wheels on my old '98 Coupe.

PM if you want to come get them from me.

If you still have the tires and want them gone, contact the Nashville Corvette Club. I'd bet someone will be glad to have them.

Forum dealer, Tony - the almighty Kerbeck in Atlantic City. None of the local group - Walker, Freeland, Serra, Carl Black - got within close enough range to make it not worth the plane ticket to AC.
