Too many variables/opinions on this. Do a search here, and you should find way too much info. Dennis

C2 Tires for '64 Corvette
Thank you for all of your inputs to previous posts.
I have checked with Michelin, they discontinued the Symmetry White Wall tire and the only White Wall tire they produce is the Uniroyal Tiger Paw (Uniroyal is part of Michelin).
The TigerPaw AWP II is available in a 5/8"WW width as a P205/75R15 and a P215/70R15. This brings up the next question - what are the pros and cons of going with the original 205/75 vs the 215/70 in view of converting to 6" knock-off rims?

I did find a source that is advertising them on-line. I have not spoken to them to see if they are current production vs having been stored for a number of years.

A few weeks ago when I was searching tires here on the CF Cooper Trendsetters kept coming up so that's what I got. 205/75 R15.

I'm on a tight budget for my 67 convertible with factory rally wheels-bought Hancook (don't laugh) Optimo 724, 205/75-15, i put blackwall on outside, cost was $90/each, very pleased with dry and wet road grip, balanced well, reasonably comfortable.

Well, I wasn't there when my tire guy mounted them (I must trust him a lot) but no issues as far as I know. After getting used to looking at the BFGs on my '72 (15x8 rallies) the 205/75s look tiny. Hopefully one fine day when the '64 is driveable I'll have a huge traction problem!
