Holy Moly!
Rear tires for this thing cost a fortune, $433.00 at tire rack for the run craps.
Anyone know where there is a deal?
There goes all my beer money. I'm going to have to sell a kidney now.

Re: Holy Moly!
I got mine from tirerack a few months ago for 360 each. That's a bargain. Btw, you can switch over to 345 michelins if you like. They are back up to 433 now but you can hit another site for $380. I'll pm you the linkie.

Re: Holy Moly!
Thanks guys.
Jeez, I squeezed about 26k out of my F1s on the 02!
These new Z06s must be defective in some way.

Yeah, I read someplace they think it's related to something about causing the right foot to push uncontrollably.
Enjoy!

I keep telling the dealership that every time they swap out tires for me but they never seem to listen.

Re: Holy Moly!
John...go with the new Bridgestone RFT's in correct C6Z06 sizes. About the same price but they have 10/32" of rubber compared to the oem gy at 8/32's. There's numerous threads on cf about them in the C6Z06 section. Seems like the way to go...
