Need tire info fast
I started a thread about Discount Tire having $100 off a set of 4.
Well, I finally have a package for my '94 that I am just about ready to pull the trigger on. The $100 off expires in 3 hours.
2-Nitto NT555 Extreme 255/45 ZR17 92W
2-Nitto NT555 Extreme 285/40 ZR17 95
Total price shipped is $538.
Any concerns about the sizing or the tire.
Thanks!

I just hope you have better luck with those tires than I did. I had 275x18s all the way around on my 95. I don't know if it is because they were aging or what, but by the time they were 50% worn it was like driving on ice. They had zero bite.

Here Is What You Do If You Aren't Sure. Call A Tire Store Goodyear, Firestone Or Etc. Tell Them You Are Looking To Replace Your Tires, And Give Them Size You Want, And Ask Are They Correct For Your Corvette. I Do This When I Go Pricing For The Best Deal.

When I called Discount Tire direct, these are the ones he recommended. I stopped at my local tire store this morning and all they had to offer were Goodyear, Goodrich, or Cooper. The Coopers would be ok but they were over $800 when I can get the same from Discount Tire for about $520 . The local store hadn't even heard of Falken.
I can get the Cooper Zeon for about the same price as the Nitto.

I got my Sumis for about that price, and mine were more because they are 18s. Yours should be cheaper.
By the way most tire shops will match Tire Rack prices, because thats where they order from. Try Wheel Works.
