Yes, and finding tires isn't the problem. It's the extra set of wheels.

Question

As I live in the Chicago suburbs, I need to think about Winter driving in my V. I always put Winter tires/wheels on my BMW, which worked great, but for an additional set of runflat winter tires and wheels on the V, we are talking serious bucks.

Tire Rack carries a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S "Zero Pressure" in a Vette size, 275/40 ZR18. Rates well in all respects including snow. Price approximately same as our original Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT's.

Will I have any problem with clearance if I go with this size tire?????

*start thread hijack*

Derek, just noticed in your sig that you are in Sioux Falls. I lived there from 1991 to 2001 - was an engineer at Sioux Steel and Luverne Fire Apparatus in Brandon and moved to Illinois three years ago for a new job. Know of any job openings? I'm ready to move back.
