Hello to everyone on this forum. I'm new as of late August.

I stumbled upon this site looking up items after reviving my parked XLR-V after 5 years. The battery was dead so that's where I started.
All things came back to life and the trunk opened and closed just fine.
I found this site because I am concerned about opening the top after so many years of controlled environment sitting. Haven't tried it yet.

I need new Pirelli run flat tires as mine are the original 2006 tires and Pirelli doesn't support the front tire in a speed rated run flat tire.
P235/45 R 19 96W Speed Index Y ? The rear are available for $ 359.80 ea. (P255/40 R19 96W Max Performance)

Does anyone have any input on acquiring the front tires? Any thoughts regarding checking the systems out on the car before our next road trip late in the month.

Thank you,
Paul

Beautiful ride!!!
I would change out the hydraulic fluid for the top and clean the reservoir and filter looking thing real good. After you do it once, use it for a few days and do it again.
