Default Re: Best tire set up?

Anybody who works C6 Corvettes should be able to do yours.

I know that people on this forum are running that setup, I have 235/40/18 S-03's on the front and hopefully will get these 275's mounted on the rear.

Also they mentioned something about clearing the tire pressure sensor could be an issue... I saw it on the rim and it really is narrow and flat and I don't think would be an issue, but I don't know. I will be calling around tomorrow on finding a place that can mount these without ruining them.

Any tricks would be helpful... I live in North Phoenix, AZ and have heard of a place that specializes in low-profile mountings, but any old tire shop doesn't seem to have the right mounting machines to mount the 275/30/19's.
