I purchased a set of Michelin tires for my C6 Z06 from www.onlinetires.com (http://www.onlinetires.com). They had the best price that I could find online -- they beat Tire Rack's price by a significant amount. I ordered them on Monday and they were delivered to my door on Saturday. Shipping charge from California was $70 with no sales tax added.
The contact person there is Gary. He prefers that you email your needs to him at gary@onlinetires.com, and he will contact you with his price. He will work with our club to give you his best possible deal. He asks that you mention your club affiliation and my name, Jim Davis, when you contact him. Mentioning my name was his idea.
FYI: I receive no future compensation from them by establishing this relationship for our club. I have no affiliation with them other than as a customer.

Did you try Eppies in NE Phila?, They are supporting vendors for the club and have always crushed Tire Rack prices for me, and I buy a lot of tires. If this was the Corvette Forum they would suspended you for posting this, it's a fine line of trying to help your fellow members get the best prices, but being fair to the vendors that support the site. On this forum you will be fine. :)

I have purchased tires for my "regular" car from Eppies, but more for the service they provided than their price. They are a good shop and I have no complaints about their products or service. I did not check with them for their price for the Z's tires. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that they couldn't beat the offer from the online vendor.
I purchased 4 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP's (ZP = zero pressure, I'm told) for the '08 Z06. The 2 front tires are size P275/35/R18 and the 2 rear tires are size P325/30/R19, and they are very expensive. I was shopping price, and that was the basis for my decision on where to buy them. I checked with several online vendors and no one could come close to Online Tire's offer -- several hundred dollars savings delivered to my front door. The sales tax savings alone will pay for the bulk of the installation charges.
My aim in submitting this post was to inform members of what I considered to be a very good deal. It's intent was not to undermine any local vendor, but to provide more info for those CCDV members who may appreciate/need it. I know of no CCDV rule that prohibits making such posts, but I thank you for the info about the Corvette Forum rule against it (I didn't know that).
Hey. No worries. You did good. Thanks for thinking of us.
