Default tire size question

What was the stock tire size that 80 vettes came with, I recently started checking the tire sizes of other late 70's to 82 vettes and im finding mostly 225 and 255's in the rear, mine has 275's in the rear and has since I got it. I was wondering if any 80 vettes came with 275's stock.

1LE,
I believe that 70 should be a 60: P255/60R15.

225's were standard, with 255's as an option.

The stock tire diameter is ~27" and most of them came with the 255/60R15's...
