TA Tires
Took your recommendation and put on BFG/TA's 245/60/15 and love them. With my little 300 it is a chore to spin them

If you don't mind my asking, where did you get your tires from?
Did you order via internet?
I have been looking at Jegs and "The Tire Rack" and they are out of stock on that 245-60-15 size.
Am going to install the 245s on the front and 255s on the rear of my 70.

Bought them from Corvette Specialty out of Corona, California. Part of the purchase package for the entire car so I can not really put an accurate price on them

These were great tires for C3's, though they're only 25.5" diameter, but they've been discontinued in that size for a few years now (thought the standard TA can still be had)...

That's the size I run. Love the looks of the T/A, a classic. Now if they would only raise the speed rating.
