Default Some Big Meats Coming

"The C8 Z06 will wear 345/25-series Michelin mounted on a 21-inch wheels and each will have a 13.5 INCH FOOTPRINT! Massive contact patch = better traction = more flats = HUGE replacement cost. That said, WOW. This is the best view I've seen of the center exhaust, however, I'd bet the production will have 4 equal-sized tips."

Those are some big meats.

And with big meats come cracked and bent wheels. Ask me how I know.

We didn't put enough miles on our 17 GS to find out. The tires looked like rubber bands.
