thanks. i have a c7 that goes fast
c3's are just nice cruisers. i have a 76 and the 75. gave the 76 to my son. we go to nightly car cruisers, we always take the c3's so sick of seeing 50 corvettes at them or more and most are c6-c8. u dont see the nice c2-c4 much anymore.

My 75 has 245/70-15’s with no rubbing issues if you’re thinking of going a bit wider. 235’s would be an easy choice

Did they ever solve the issue over the White letters turning discolored or even brown? My car has been sitting so long with brand new tires, I’m thinking about buying a new set.

I think OP did state all information - He wants to know if the tires (see link) are good for his 1975 Corvette. I’d say the BF Goodrich T/A Radials are the most popular however while a 70 sidewall might be closer to stock OE, the 60 sidewall will feel much better in the curves and turns.
