i am buying 255/60/15's all the way around

255/60/15 all the way around. No rubs, no problems. Just good smooth riding tires IMO. Plus they just have that muscle car look to them.

That's what I use on the street...

For the strip I use 275/60R15 BFG Drag Radials in the rear..
and very soon 165 R 15 Metric Radials in front on 15 x 3.5 inch skinnies :D :D

I run 245's all around and they work, not the best tire for traction or handling either wet or dry but they are round and look nice.

Corey_68 · 07-01-2003, 06:40 PM

I had them and recently switched to Firehawk SS20's. :thumbs:

it must be trendy - that's what I have on the '79 -
no problems, looks great :chevy

Mr69Vett · 07-01-2003, 11:03 PM

I also have the 255/60-15

There are not very many choices available if memory serves me, mine are getting a touch skinng, Corey whats with the FireHawk's SS20's? Do you like them? Do they have a "newer" tread design and profile? Seems like "everone runs the BF Goodrichs, not bad but like to be a touch different.

:seeya 255's in back. 225's in front.

I put 4 BF Goodrich 260 R 15 TA's on all 4 coners of my 79. They have a great profile, they are quiet and handle great in all conditions. For the $160.00 per tire, you can't beat the value of this rubber. These are
Great Tires. :D :steering:

L48Shark · 07-02-2003, 02:08 AM

235/60R15's on all 4 corners.

Rockn-Roll · 07-02-2003, 03:09 AM

I've got 255/60-15's on all 4. Not too good for traction, and make a lot of noise when I break them loose. But, can't put down the price and they will last a long time. My next tires will hopefully be more like the dunlop Sport 8000 in 245/50-15's. A bit more pricey, but a lot better rubber.

255/60/15 all the way around. I can't go any larger in the front. They would rub.

Lasse · 07-02-2003, 08:31 AM

295/50/15 rear and 265/50/15 front. I have an eye on Yokohama Avid S/T, but they don't import them to europe, so I will stay with BFG.

71stingray454 · 07-02-2003, 09:58 AM

BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on both vettes. 275's in the back and 255's in the front on the black vette. 225's all around on the red vette.

flood · 07-02-2003, 10:19 AM

I use 225/70/15's on all 4. I figured I would use stock and then see how much rubber I could fit under afterwords.

Seems like the 255/60/15's fit fine. I will have to buy that size the next time.

I was also curious about the Firehawks and how they stack up against the BFG. :cheers:

NHvette · 07-02-2003, 10:23 AM

These are the only tires I buy for ALL my vehicles. My Buick Park Ave has
225/70s, Blazer has flotation size offroad TAs, and the vette will be getting
the 255/60s.
