Replying to: elias (Jul 25, 2007 8:09 pm) I drove the old DD, an econobox but couldn't stand more than a year of that and about 8k saved. Then I bought a very low miles C4, 1995 auto and it wasn't bad, just not as good as the C5 so I sold it after 10k miles and a year. Good deal, only cost me the sales tax and a couple hundred since it was still low miles when I sold it. But the C5 is just too much fun not to drive and I'm up to 68k with the car going on six years old in 2 months. Now I'm doing about 15k/year and that is with no commute. As to tires, my wife's C5 has original run flats still on at 24k miles. They are due for a change before winter. Randy |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 26, 2007 10:00 am) shock. However, since I have my stock wheels in the garage with a set of EMT Michelin's they may just end up on the wife's car. I have been running a set of Z06 wheels with Kumho non-run-flats for most of the last two years. I've had 3 nails/screws and not one has left me stuck. Since I check pressures all the time, due to track driving, I caught each and made it to the America's Tire shop without incident. Pure luck, I know. At about $800 per set the Kumho non-RF is a great alternative with much more traction. As to tire sensors, not much issue, the local Am's Tire knows the drill and has yet to be a problem. My biggest issue is that my tires sitting in the back of garage still read out in the car and I don't lose the reading unless I get more than about 20 minutes away from home. Randy
