Probably a dumb question but can anyone tell me the factory tire size(s) for a stock 1977 Corvette with aluminum wheels? Is it the same front vs rear? Is there a tire that is popular these days that people have had good luck with? Thanks!
GR70-15, which equates to 225/70r15 in a modern tire size. In 1978 there was an optional tire size of 255/60r15. Both should fit on your aluminum wheels without issue, although with a 255 you might need to trim a small piece of the front fender well to avoid interference.

Same size front & rear...
The largest size you can run is 255-60-15...
My current set this spring I went with 245-60-15...
Most popular brands are BF Goodrich radial TA
or Cooper Cobras
The reason I went with the 245 vs 255 just giving my wheel bearings a break...lol
