I had been ignoring a slow leak in a tire for a bit now because I couldn't see anything obvious but finally took it to the shop to find a nail through the inside tread and cutting into the sidewall. Womp womp. I had a chance to throw on the winter wheels last night until I figure out if I want to buy 4 new tires or figure something else out and I'm loving the 'fat 5' style on the c5 body.

Had to pause and admire the ridiculous calipers again. 1/2" ratchet for scale since we were out of bananas

I also took a moment to finally swap in the giac chipped TCU I've had in the trunk for months. It sits in the passanger floor pan so remove a couple of trim pieces and you can pull up the carpet, but that was stiff as hell. A second set of hand would have been easier, but it was doable. It's made a noticeable difference in shift times and will hold higher gears longer as you're coasting/driving around town. I'm a fan of anything that might reduce stress on the transmission. I've got an email into giac to see if I can get a full document of all the changes with their chip as it's not on their site anymore. 034's chip also increases the rev limiter so I'm curious if giac does as well.
