Re: Stock tire size for an 80 (lou)
There were 2 tire sizes offered that year. As stated above, the standard size was P225/70R15. A popular option was the P255/60R15, Goodyear GT Radial on early 80's and EAGLE GT's on later 80's.

Sure, it most certainly will increase the handling capabilities of your car but if you get into some serious abbusive racing you'll want a wider rim for a 275 or higher tire or it's gonna roll over hard. I run 245's on a 9.5" wheel.
