The rear speakers were kind of a hassle to take out since they are covered, but they're...

There are approximately 25mm to an inch. So a 275 is 20/25 or 0.8" narrower than a 295. And yes, tire size choices can effect the operation of Traction Control as well as simple effecting traction. Do some searches on "Tire Sizes" and you'll get plenty of details.

Thanks for the suggestion Jim. I wish I could describe the noise better, but not really possible due to its short duration. It doesnt give me time to pin point it before it goes away. Starter cranks the car just fine, but it is the stock starter and is pushing 8 years old, so maybe it is "hanging up". Ill put the front end on jackstands this weekend, lay under it, and have somebody crank it over and see if I can better pin...

Bushings huh? Oooops. I am at approximately 120K. maybe I need to have my bushings checked.... Good topic.

In my day they called em dumps--the only dumpes I liked was in the middle of a cornfield-Felt great

The BFG's are light years ahead of the Nittos IMHO. They grip WAAAY better with no heat. People who have had good results with the Nittos had to heat them first to get good 60ft's. With that said though, any tire in the size the Z06 runs will grip pretty well anyway lol. But the BFG's are where its at when it comes to a drag radial. Keep in mind though that there are trade offs for that icky sticky. The sidewalls are super soft...

It's all relative as to price (usually lighter means more expensive) and you really do need to compare apples to apples, size wise, for accurate weight comparisions. CCW lists a 17x11 Classic 4 at 19.6#. It is hard to make a weight comparison without the same size listing but I know the 3 piece wheels are lighter and in fact are stronger. The other benefit is that if you have a shunt or off course excursion and damage a wheel (usually the...

You said that you dumped the oil, did you drop the oil filter? Just cut it apart with a hack saw and look for copper or brass looking particles. That will be your clue that it is a bearing.
