I know some other new vette owners use the model TOYO R888R for club racing.
Since it is one of the few brands available in 255/50 16, I’m wondering if this is bad choice for me on my 1984 potential daily use.: 1) Don’t have to change the rims 2) the price about $187 per is not bad. 3) with the little actual mileage one usually puts on these classics, buying a more normal tire will probably age out well before you ever get near the wear bars. 4) I would enjoy the stickier material even if they wear more rapidly.
The main drawbacks are driving in moist conditions.
Also, I worry about more rubber deterioration of this tire in the Northeast as my garage is unheated even if the car sits there in Winter.

park the vette if your not driving regularly on these rounder depression tire support type ramps to help maintain the tire shape, use tire spray to reduce the damage sunlight and oxygen does to tire rubber
use a battery tender/charger to maintain the battery charge,and use an anpde or two in the radiator and block cooling systems

I tried to look it up, but no clue.
Could it be a fat fingered anode? If so, how would anodes work in the cooling system? And why would you block the cooling system?

yes its a typo for anode ,sorry for the typo,
Sacrificial anodes are used to protect metal structures from corroding. Sacrificial anodes work by oxidizing more quickly than the metal it is protecting, being consumed completely before the other metal reacts with the electrolytes.

anodes
I got asked if USING anodes, in an engine is a good idea? electrolysis can rapidly cause damage, use of a 50% anti-freeze/50% water coolant mix and at least two good separate engine grounds to the cars frame helps but get out a multi meter and test for voltage in coolant, (more info in links)...
