C2 tires
What's a good tire for a c2?
|
Having just restored my '64 coupe, now I need to replace the 40 year old Michelin radials. What's a good radial tire for this car?
|
Too many variables/opinions on this. Do a search here, and you should find way too much info. :cheers: Dennis

Something big enough to rub the fenders.....:rock:

I'm in the same boat. I just restored my '64 convertible. I have new bolt-on knock-offs on order and need to replace my 30 year old tires. |
I have a set of Michelin Symmetry's on my '66 - 215/70 - with a 1/2 inch whitewall. Love the looks, the ride & handling - and the $$$.

I have Firestone radials 205/75-15 whitewalls and they look great. I've heard they stopped making them but not sure.

C2 tires
Thanks, guys-
I will check these tires out. |
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.

I just got Potenza RE019's on mine and really like how smooth they roll. It might be that my old Yokahamas were very old.:willy:
