Default Junk yard tires
Just saw online that a 88 Corvette in the Hesperia, Ca Pick your part has a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All season rims and tires. Not sure on the size as I can’t read it. But here’s a pic. Might be worth a trip to check them out. I’m busy or I would.

If you happen to know the price that might help someone decide.

They charge $40/tire plus $3 to dismount, plus $2-3 environmental fee, plus tax and $5 to get in. They run a special on Saturday where it’s $12/ tire. By now those are most likely gone. It’s another $40 for each rim.

Take along an Abbeon Cal Pocket Ref. It will help you determine the manufacture date on those tires.

They charge a "premium" on "premium cars" I tried for some 1989 corvette wheels at their Fontana yard and they wanted $155.00 each.
