Where can I get tires?!?!
I need a set of tires for my 84 vette but NO ONE has them. I've called all the local chains and they don't have them and only one can get that size but it's a brand I've never heard of.
The tire says it's 255/50/16.
What do y'all do for tires?

I have BF Goodrich on my car. I got mine at Discount/America's Tire Store. Goodrich just came out with an upgraded version.
Falkens also are available, but they are not speed rated for Corvettes.
I think Toyo also makes a tire in our size. Again, not speed rated.

Glad to hear BFG has come out with some 255-50's. I could not get any 255's over a year ago and even emailed them and they said they did not know when they would be making them again. I ended up with BFG 245-50-s and had a hard time finding them at the time. Glad to hear the 255's are back again.
