Sorry but someone may be yanking your chain. Please tell that person that their headlight fluid is low lol. On a serious note, run flat tires handle the same temperatures as regular tires. They mount, air up, balance, repair and run in the same environments as well. I think the potential issue is the make of tire. Does your corvette have all season or summer tires mounted on it. In the colder winter climate. Summer tires will not perform well. Traction on snow and ice is poor and traction on clean asphalt is reduced. The rubber compounds in winter tires are softer than those used in summer tires. All season tires will perform well year round. I hope this helps. Please write back if there is anything else.
thank you all however, please i'd like only what is asked for, I would hope most folks would know they can go to parts store liabrary etc...

HAAPPY EASTER ALL I give my glory to my higher power !
Most likely 5W-30. The W is for winter. The numbers tell summer and winter. A quart of this oil will act like 5 weight (very thin) in the winter and 30 weight in the summer (thicker). Let's not go in to how that is done. If you live up north, a 5W-20 would do well also. Down south 10W-30 is often used.
No, before changing the thermostat try blocking the radiator by placing cardboard between the grille and radiator. Don't forget to remove it next spring. If that doesn't help, let me know and I will send instructions on how to replace thermostat.
SIMPLE MAINT SCHEDULE , IS CHANGING IT ONCE A YEAR, but it depends where you live, If this truck is a diesel & you live in a northern climate, change your filter once a year but not until you know for ceretain that you are buying winter grade fuel, ie: nov
Reason for this is that there will be wax/parafin build up in the filter that your ran on the summer fuel, it can congeal in the filter in winter becasue of this build up. If you replace the filter in late autumn, then tat filter will not have a congeal problem because the there hasnt been anything but winter grade fuel through it, , and its safe to run all next summer , but the summers residue will cause problems next winter , so change again in late autumn .
That's a strange problem.
Do your run antifreeze all year round? Or water in the summer and antifreeze in winter/fall?
One suggestion I can make is try replacing the thermostat with one of a lower temp. I believe OEM thermostat's for your truck open at 190 try using one that opens at 165 or so, less heat means less wear and tear. Either way you should not be eating up thermostat's like that.
