Cray Brickyards installed

Very nice, but why did you change tires? Michelin pilot super sports have got to be a better tire than the invos...

This is a base car, so went from base 18/19 to z51 size 19/20 .....don't really care what's a better perf tire for a DD.....The INVO also is far quieter, more important to me than track performance, which I will never do.....

We all have diff needs......

Looks great, Glen! It gives me a good idea of what the upcoming 2015 black/machine face Z51 wheels will look like on my CGM coupe. Several guys in my Corvette club have Invos on their C6s. They all speak highly of the tires, even on Z06s.

Would it rub on z51 you think?
Really need wider tires to put the power down out the turns without sliding every where.
Doesn't look like it stocks out..

Thanks so much by the way
