Got the 255/60/15 BFG's mounted on the vette
Nice change in ride quality and they are tight but fit well under the front I have about a 1/4 of and inch to spare ona full lock to lock turn. Much nicer handling than the 225/70's that came off the car

Looks real :cool: . I hope to be getting that size when my 225/70/15's wear out. There's a stick on the door incidating that the 60's came stock on my car.

Looking good! I have them on the rear, but had to use 235s in the front because of my wheels.

:cool:
I know what tires I'm going with when the time comes..
but what size tire should I run in the front (I like wide rear thinner front look).
any suggestions?

Very nice look!! I'm planning on buying the same. I'm running BFG 255/60/15's now but they're worn out. Would 275's fit on the back with no modifications using stock 8" deep rims?? I'm considering the 275's for the back but I don't want to have to do modifications. Someone told me that the beauty ring would have to be installed before the tire was inflated to running pressure. Not sure if this is true or not. Any ideas on this.

I'm going to be buying tires soon myself in the same size and was contemplating between the BFG's and Goodyear GT II's. Any particuar reason you went with the BFG's?

I have two Firestone Firehawks for sale. They have about 1000 miles on them. BTW, I have no idea how to ship tires! :confused:
