OEM Chevrolet Engine oil

My corvette was supposed to run 5w-30 but they changed it to 0w-40 at some time. I have that in bulk at work so it was a good change. My Prius is supposed to run only 0w-20 but if you read a non US owners manual you can run up to 10w-40 if it\u2019s hot and you\u2019re running the car hard. We go on trips out into the desert frequently where we\u2019ll be pushing 80mph for hours in 100+ degree heat so it\u2019s been getting 0w-30.

Pros: good change

GENERAL MOTORS Tires

C4 TPI Corvettes are not slow, how did that sneak into the mix here? One other thing aside from 40 year old car warranty, the standard 255/50/16 tires are made by pretty much nobody now.

Pros: Corvettes are not slow
Cons: tires are hard to find

YOKOHAMA Tires

Right now I've got a set of Yok A052s on for autocross. They've served me well for that purpose, but everyone says not to run them on the track or that's the end of those tires. Given the wear I've seen just from one short season of autocross, I believe them.

Pros: served well for autocross
Cons: high wear, not for track

  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 3.0

Have firehawks on a C5, PS4 on a C4 GS. Both are fine for street driving. I certainly can push the C4 WAY harder but how hard you drive is a huge factor. The PS4 is also way susceptible to flat spotting if the car sits (mine do)

Pros: fine for street driving, can push harder
Cons: susceptible to flat spotting
