Take them to a chevy dealership. They deal with wider tires on the Z06's. I've mounted several 315's and a couple 325's and higher. Not to big of a deal but they need to have the correct tire mounting machines to handle these tires.

goodyear does it, I work there. you do have to use a cro-bar or tire iron to keep the top bead down and from tearing.

Exactly, you wont mount a 275 without a bar either. I dont see what the problem is.

Yeah, because a GM dealer is such a better deal. They never price jockey.

Wow.
