Sooo, are we VCA members being offered a "Viper" discount?

Re: Welcome to the Tire Rack sponsored Wheel, Tire, Brake and Suspension Fo

I'm a VCA member (only honorary) also, and it doesn't get me a discount so, I would have to say .... no ....

The Tire Rack policy is to offer the best service and pricing we can to ALL customers at ALL times. We do pass along any special pricing the manufacturers extend to us to our customers (you may remember the 18" pilot sport blow out pricing of a couple of years ago) but, we do not do 'group buys', forum discounts, club discounts, etc. ........

[Luke@tirerack]

Re: Welcome to the Tire Rack sponsored Wheel, Tire, Brake and Suspension Fo

I have no idea ...... I have been dealing with that issue for months

Re: Welcome to the Tire Rack sponsored Wheel, Tire, Brake and Suspension Fo

so basically the best tire choice for stock 18's 2nd gen gts would be the Michelin Pilot's?

Is there a performance advantage to one piece v two piece or three piece wheels for road and/or track? Jim

the only advantage multi-piece wheels have is that they can be made in any width and offset by using different pieces. There is however a drawback .... multi-piece wheels are typically heavier than 1 piece wheels

Do the SRT-10 coupe wheels fit a Gen II GTS? Size differences? What size/type wheel does the CC use?

 

[MaxedGTS]

Re: Welcome to the Tire Rack sponsored Wheel, Tire, Brake and Suspension Fo

Luke any chance on getting a Kumo for a 19" wheel????Thanks Max

using SRT10 wheels and tires on a Gen2 is a bad idea .... the SRT 10 rear tires are 1" taller than the front tires which creates identical sidewall height and deflection rates ..... the Gen 2 uses the same diameter tire on a ll four corners so, you would have different sidewall deflection rates which will adversely effect handling
