CM Correct tire sizes???

Hi,

My 1987 Vette has 255x50R16 tires on the back, and 245x50R16 on the front. Is that correct or should it have the same size on all four corners?? I need to buy tires, should I go with the 255's x 4?

Thanks,
vettebob

CM

The correct size is 255x50x16 on all corners.

Your tire choices are limited. Despite my reservations, I am VERY happy with my BFGs. $540 installed (after $60 rebate), out the door in May at Belle Tire (local Detroit chain). Costco and Sam's are likewise competitive.
