Getting replacement tyres for my Z06

[Camelot1971]

What about these guys?

They seem legit?

Dan, not sure if they could help, but you could try https://www.kwparts.com as they're the main EU importers for many of GM's parts for Europe. They're based in Sweden. Not sure if they deal direct with the public, but they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Oh and there are many threads about alternative tyres (or if you do a search - tires ...!) on the US Corvette forum https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-corvette-2...

Good luck with your search.

If you drop down to 325/25/20 there seem to be loads of options.

Just be aware there are potentially insurance implication to changing tyre sizes from standard spec.

______________

Id consider reducing the fronts by the same 5mm.

Heres a site where you can compare two different tyre sizes https://tiresize.com/comparison/

Wow, how did you find them? I've been Googling for hours and hours and didn't come across them!
I'll give them a call.....any reason to think they wouldn't be legit? I guess if I pay with Credit Card I'm covered just in case?

Hmmm that's a good point, didn't think to go down that route of slightly narrower on the back. The fronts I already had to drop by 10mm so this option could fit well! Thanks mate, good plan.

I meant 10mm not 5 aswell so should work well

HAHA I did wonder how to find a tyre only 5mm narrower, but then guessed what you meant

I Googled that exact tyre size (335-25-zr-20-99y-michelin-pilot-super-sport-zp-runflat) and they came up. The website looks ok, pay by CC and you will be fine. Price looks a bit too cheap? Got to be worth a shot.

How did you get on with Pitstop Tyres?.
I have picked up a screw on one of the rear tyres (C7 Z06) and am looking to get two replacements while I am at it.
Like others having a bit of a nightmare tracking down the right tyres.
I want to keep original fitment.

Didn't end up trying them, ended up with slightly different sizes from standard from elsewhere.

With hindsight and having spoken to a few people, looking on ebay might be your best bet.

Here's an option: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335-25-20-Michelin-Pilo...

If not, Demon Tweeks are one of the few places with the right size, but expensive: https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/michelin-pilot-sup...

Having said that, can't see any reason not to try pitstop tyres?

[scs1]

Thanks UTH,
Tried Demon Weeks ,they are out of stock with no sign of any on the horizon.
Will keep trying !

Keep me posted with how you get on. I think us brits are always going to have trouble finding this exact size!

Pitstop do have one left on their website ,but they are just too cheap ,something does nt ring true.

Exactly my worry.....was kind of hoping you'd be the one to try it out LOL.

Hi, pneus-online.fr in France seem to have your 335/30/20 Pilot Sport in stock. (Euro 347.24) they even have a fitting centre in Pas de Calais if that could be any use?

I have used the company for my Alfa QF OE tyres.

[scs1]

Thanks for that, will try if no luck in the UK.

Quick up date on the tyre problem.
After searching the internet and coming up with a couple of options that just did nt seem kosher to me . ie. way too cheap, I e mailed Michelin customer services.
I had a reply today stating that there is no stock in their warehouse but they are expecting a delivery on December 8th.
Perhaps the lesson here is to get a set while I can and keep them in the garage until needed.

Are you able to buy directly from them?
