I worked for Goodyear right after I got out of the military. I was only there for 3 months, so I'm no expert with tires; however, I do remember some of the training videos.

Vette's use a special tire by Goodyear. I don't remember the kind or size, but in '95 they cost $450 apiece. Vette's have some kind of sensor mounted on the inside of the rim which warns the driver of low tire pressure. The sidewalls of this particular tire are SUPER STRONG. They are designed so that they can be driven 200 miles with no air in them. These sidewalls prevent the owner from crushing the sensor on the rim.
