Rear tire issues
[FONT="Comic Sans MS[/FONT]
Greetings!:
I have a 1984 Corvette coupe and it goes through tires particularly in the rear at least once a year. I am using the 255 50zr 16, BF Goodrich, which is about the only tire you can find for this veto, I am not driving crazy, but it sure wears out tires quickly.
Thanks so much for your advice, it is always top rate and the best!!

BFG only makes a soft tire in that size, You could try a different brand with higher tread wear number something over 300. VR & ZR series tire normally wear out in 20-30k

I agree on possible alignment issue, and/or dragging brake(s), and/or low tire pressures... don't want to overlook the obvious.
^ yes this would be very good information for the thread. OP, how many miles are you getting out of your rear tires before they need replacement?
