Default Correct tire sizes??
Hi,

My 1987 Vette has 255x50R16 tires on the back, and 245x50R16 on the front. Is that correct or should it have the same size on all four corners?? I need to buy tires, should I go with the 255's x 4?

Thanks,

vetterobert

That way you can rotate front to back with stock wheels.

Ok, great. That's what I needed to know. Somebody "cheaped out" and put 245's on the front of mine. (I only recently bought it, my first Vette)

Thanks,
