Tires for stingray
Hi im looking for some new tires for my 1970 stingray.
I am currently running 225/70-15. I am able to find some BF goodrich to match on tirerack. are there any others that would work? Im also looking to put something slightly larger on the back. Is that possible are there anything out there that could help me achieve this?

I'm running 235/60/15 on the front & 255/60/15 on the rear:
If you go any wider than 235 on the front it may rub.
You can use the following calculator to compare. Changing the tire diameter will affect the speedometer reading.

Early C3s have less clearance, be careful going wider than 235.

I run p245/60r15s all around with lots of room to spare on the the back,as has already been stated be wary of the front the cars were largely hand built and will vary quite a bit sometimes
