Thanks Ralphie, it is in being serviced for lights in the toggle switches not working and I figured I would cover that too if need be.

Never really noticed, are they supposed to light up with backlighting when the headlights are on?

Yes I believe that they are LEDs, Based on losing 3 now in 18 months I am not sure it is worth the $ to replace them but I hate having nonfunctional items in the car!!

I replaced 1 under warranty and now 2 more of the toggles fail to light. Is this a common failing? Anyone replce them on their own and familar with the procedure? Thanks! Derry

Would never go back to stock.

me too please

Check the date code before you buy them, when I last checked they were 4 or 5 years old at tire rack.

I had the same issue that just started a few weeks ago, really bugged me how it just started happening after 4 years. Anyway Shadowman walked me through the procedure and all is well! Have blue tape on hand:biggrin Thanks again Shadowman! Derry

My big concern that started me looking for alternates (ended up with Bridgestones and love them) is that Goodyear has not made a production run in years and the best I could find at Tirerack was tires that are 5 years old. That is too old for me to be comfortable. Derry

I made the following mods to a 2003 c5 that I have since sold but was very Happy with: Lowered 1.5" Billy Boat stainless route 66 exhaust and headers Short throw shifter by Kirban Erada Speed rotors Magnuson Supercharger ACI hood 18" & 19" HRE 840 with Michelin Pilots

Long shot but I have had a smartcharger kill the cells in two reqular lead acid batteries in a row before I figured it out. Are you sure of the new battery's output?

Thanks Buddy! And yes the nuts are working well!:biggrin

I did not use the 265 only because they are .5 inches smaller in diameter and I wanted to stay as close to stock heights as I could especially in the front, Buffalo Ny has some nasty road holes in spots.

Have not measured any speedo difference yet but the dia. change is about a quarter of an inch in the rear only. Given normal wear allowed I cannot believe it will be much. I will check though.

sorry typo, 235 on the front.

I know this has been talked about but just wanted to say WOW what an improvement! Put 234/45-18 Potenza on the front and 345/35-19 Potenza on the back. Better ride, grip and noise. Used stock BBS rims. Derry

Thank you all very! I had a great day yesterday. I spent last week at the West track at Firebird in Phoenix in Mazda formulas and Ford formulas to celebrate :biggrin

Thanks Richard, re-reading the rating site at Tire Rack again I see you are quite correct. I did not previously understand the Y vs (Y) designation. Derry

I have read good things on the Bridgestones, but they are rated with a Y speed rating which is up to 186 MPH vs the Goodyears being ZR rated for over 186 MPH. Again I am not an expert but is there a realistic difference in technology between the two? Derry

In this thread tires and tire pressure have been mentioned several times. I am very concerned about age of the tires. I have not been able to locate a set of stock Goodyears that is new. Most have date codes that are at least 4 years old now. 200 MPH on 4 or 5 year old rubber seems risky but I...
