Dear Becky from Michigan:

Thank you for your very lovely and gracious reply, and thanks for the great news. I have met and conversed with a number of fine Corvette enthusiasts along my journey and quest for a C7. I have joined my area Corvette club (and I don't even have one yet), all great people who embraced me and my wife, and I look forward to a great adventure in my C7 with them and others.

In my 67 years, this is my first Corvette, and only my 2nd Chevy. My first Chevy, when I was a teen, cost me $500; and was a 1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible in turquoise. I wish I had that great car back.

I have passed on a number of Corvettes over the years, mostly due to interior issues. Maybe that is why I ordered all the available interior option upgrades for my 3LT other than comp seats that includes the ever elusive carbon fiber dash. I have high expectations for the interior of my C7.

I was going to buy a 67 big block vert upon my retirement from ICE, as that is the car I wanted when I was in college, but could not afford one. However, along comes the C7 to bring me back to the reality of an instant classic I can drive as much as I like with no gas issues, everywhere, and anytime, except in winter, until someone comes up with a run-flat cold whether tire for a Z51. So, now, at last, I shall have the Corvette I have been waiting for all these years. I expect and trust it shall be well worth the wait.

Again, thank you Becky for your help and for all those who have conversed with me on this forum.

Sincerely,

Richard, and for my Ohio State Ph.D. wife and serious Buckeye fan.

CONGRATULATIONS Richardlord!

BUT... I have a TPW of 14 April. Beat ya'! HA!

On the tire side, as soon as I wear the stock tires off my Z51, I'll be slapping some Michelin Pilot A/S 3 All Weather Performance Tires on her.

According to my research, Consumer Reports, and customer feedback... they're AWESOME!

Congrats on getting your C7 soon - I also looked into the Pilots, but the only question is are they run flats - If they are, I also shall get them - Definitely don't want to have anyone towing mine!

Definitely less forum time and more road time - The forum has been a good time filler

Congrats on finally getting a TPW! FYI the A/S 3s are NOT run-flat. But how often does one really get a flat? My last one was over 10 years ago. If concerned, just carry a small air compressor and plug kit. That's what I do on longer trips.

jyounger74 · 04-09-2014, 05:05 PM

Im also at 3300 with TPW OF 4/28 HOPING THE WORKERS AT BOWLING GREEN DO NOT STRIKE.

Yes, that is why I likely shall not get A/S 3s as they are not run flats - Somebody has to come up with a run flat all weather tire before next winter - Hopefully, Michelin - Too many C7s by then for someone not to make a profitable run flat - And, how did Chevy miss the opportunity to sell us all a run flat all season tire along with our summer tires?

I get flats - Mostly on or near my country home on the Potomac River - Lots of things to jump up and bite my tires - Yesterday, of all things, I got a flat on my John Deere 4320 tractor out in my apple orchard - I think I ran over a fawn as my apple orchard is a deer magnet (I got over Bambi long ago and allow deer hunters) - And, when I am in the city (DC), lots of terrible roads - And, best not be on the side of the road in winter here trying to pump up a tire - And, with the pot holes, it likely shall be a flat and a rim if not more wheels.

For the same reason GM doesn't offer all weather tires for Vettes and ZL1/1LE/SS Camaros... they're idiots.

I like to drive year round as long as the streets are clean of snow and ice, but with summer tires it makes it impossible.

C'mon GM, give us the option when we order our cars, summer only or all weather tires. DUH!

Can't help you with your flat on your JD tractor. I machine the rockshafts, rockshaft assemblies, lift arms, center link brackets, drawbar brackets, and drawbar frame brackets. I have nothing to do with the tires.
