Default Tire help - educate me

For a 99 C-5, are the factory tires 'run flat'? Anyone car to share their tire experiences for all around use?

Yes the factory tires on every C5, but Z06's are Goodyear "EMT" - the run craps. They are heavy, loud, and obnoxious. I don't like them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I've switched to Michelin Pilot Sports. Of course with no spare I don't leave home without a cell phone and othehs carry a fix-a-flat type kit to keep from being stranded.

Thanks - one more question - will any of the other year wheels fit the 99, like the 2000 style?
