Default How to fit 4 brand new Potenza's 295r and 265fronts in the cabin of a z06

Well it was time for new tires. Wasn't sure how I was going to get them to the tire shop, but had to make it happen somehow.

Turns out you can fit two 295/18's and two 265/17's completely in the cab of a z06 and safely drive it to the tire shop with a little patience and a shoehorn :

Anyone else have similar stories?

lol, what's funny is I had to go through the driver's door to get all 4 tires in. They wouldn't go in any other way. I might could have gone in through the passenger's door, but my seat is jammed and I can't move it forward any. It was almost somehow magical how they all fit in there just perfectly, and I am beginning to suspect the Corvette team intentionally designed it that way. They're modders too you know
