This is for my C8, and I have sensors in all 3 sets of rims, and a relearn tool in the glovebox!

Good news, my co-driver, due to his celebrity status and multiple past national championships, just used his connections to find the last 3 remaining sets of the proper A7's in the country to fit my front wheels. I bought all 3 sets. I may need a bigger truck to get everything to Lincoln.

Fyi... Run a cable through them and a good lock or people steal them unfortunately, assuming it's an open type. Last time guy i knew had them stolen they got all used up tires and one blown out tire, did him a favor actually.

I have a cable that snakes through all of the weels, tires, and equipment in my truck bed.

Not really a baller, but I don't go to the expense of doing national events without having brand new rubber. The cost of travel and lodging is huge, so why play with subpar tires?

Additionally, my daughter is in contention for her 1st ProSolo national championship (tied for 1st in the country in her class), and I also have one of the known Aliens co-driving my car. He has an extremely legit shot of winning in my car , and I want to make that happen. He just won the Oscado, MI ProSolo in a 2020 C8, so he's got plenty of seat time now to be able to make that happen.

After nationals, I should be set with Hoosiers to carry me through most of 2023 at my local venue. That stack of front tires on the left is the last remaining 3 sets in the country. New production doesn't start until after Nationals. Hell, I might take the 3rd set with me to Lincoln and try and sell it for 2X what I paid.
