I believe this is the link you need -> http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...tkit/index.jsp

Just out of curiousity, is that sealant like that fix-a-flat stuff? I'm assuming you'd have to replace the tire when you get home. I guess the perfect solution would be to have this compressor plus a tire plug kit incase it's due to a nail or screw.

If anyone is looking for a tire recommendation, based on about 80 miles today, I don't think you can go wrong with GS D3s. Very smooth ride and very responsive!

do they make em in 275s or 305s

They make 275's in 17-20" sizes. They only have 295 in 18" and the 305 they only have in a 20" size.
Here is all the sizes, with 275/40/17 at the top.

Just noticed you have a C4. If you are running GS wheels, they have a 315/35/17 that'll fit a 11" wheel.

Hey Jim,
I like them so well, that I am thinking about replacing the GY Supercar tires that come stock on my '04 Z06 CE with these tires in the next year. I have really been impressed with them.
