Buffalo/ Rochester thread
 
I want to start a western ny only thread.
Im looking for a set of Junk tires 245/40/20 275/35/20 tires to put on my car for winter storage as my Michelin Pilot Super Sports can't be stored below 20deg. They just need to hold air for a day or so. will consider used take off.

If you want a set of good winter tires, I would advise looking into the Pirelli Scorpions. I use them for my car and they are an amazing tire for the cold weather and work especially well in the snow. Mine usually last 2-3 years at a time for the rears, my fronts are still kicking. Also, to kick off more of this thread, we should get together a group in the area and maybe to a cruise once the weather gets nice again.

No not looking for winter tires.

Then search tire rack for cheap ones. You can usually find tires for cheap on Craigslist or the Facebook Marketplace.

im looking for stock SS 245 275 take offs. i dont need them for the road i just need them so my car has tires for storage during the winter. MPSS are not supposed to be stored under 20deg. if your getting new tires ill take the old ones. not looking to spend any money. ill pick them up. if they still pass inspection i could give you something for them.

You'll be alright without them, so long as you don't move the car during the winter. Just wanted to put that out there for you, in case it helps save some hassle.

I stored my cars for several winters on "do not store below 20º" tires for years, and they've been fine. The ZL1 1LE especially, since the rubber is far harder than MPSS. :iono:

JCunningham 04-16-2018 11:05 AM
iv seen them read of these cracking after 2 winters and iv seen GY supercars crack badly after 1. I bet Joe Basil wont be putting new tires on Z06 and leaving them on the lot over winter anymore.

looking for a GM tuner with LT1 experience. no dynojets needs to be a dyno that can tune for drivability not just a educated guess. J&J Speed Shop is to busy to get me in. The only other place i can find online is RDP in ohio 185miles 1 way. No i will not do a narrow band email tune.

I had RDP do my 5th gen dyno tune. Steve is really good at squeezing out every last bit of power and takes his time to make sure it's right. The drive to Cleveland is a pain though but it's worth it. He even gave me his wife's SUV to drive home over the weekend when he wasn't done doing my dif gears!

New Era Performance in Rochester is another really good shop too!

New Era has a dynojet. they tuned my 1st cammed Camaro but drive ability had problems. thats when I learned about dynos and that you cant tune drivability on a dyno jet because it doesnt have a brake to put a load on the engine like the car does. I really wanted E85 spent $300 on it and another $147 on gas cans just to bring it to the dyno. should have just bought 2 cans a E85 race gas i quess.
Are there any other within a days driving distance. 200 or so miles
I know that the guys that in my Upstate Camaro group have their work done somewhere near Syracuse and really like the results. Not sure what he has for a dyno but I can find out for you .
